#PageItForward

Anyone interested in these two books? They're paperback and I've owned them for 10+ years. Some shelf wear but no writing or highlighting in the pages.

I'm happy to pass them on to a fellow reader. In the US please since they're so large.

Just comment below if you'd like them. 💚

EvieBee I‘d like both! And I can pay for shipping, if they‘re still available. 2y
Addison_Reads @EvieBee I appreciate the offer, but shipping in the states isn't bad. It's just international that gets a bit expensive. If you'll email me your mailing address I'll get them out to you this week. caddison97@gmail.com 2y
EvieBee @Addison_Reads Cassie, you are the best. Thank you so much! I‘ll send you my address. I used to own these very editions but they got donated in one of many moves in the last 8 years. 2y

I‘m used to the traditional “Tell them what you‘re going to tell them,” Tell them,” “Tell them what you‘ve told them” of instruction, because “Tell them,” “Tell them,” ad nauseam gets old. Any Rand beats you over the head with her philosophy. Okay, fine, I knew this before I began reading the book. I read it for the story, not the philosophy. Unfortunately, the story is predictable: boy meets girl, girl hates boy, girl loves “ideal” man. The end.

Epic! I have read this book twice in it‘s entirety and have reread passages countless times. This book has not only stood the test of time, it is arguably more relevant now than ever.

JoeMo Impressive! Rand hammers points repeatedly into the reader‘s head so severely in Atlas Shrugged that I don‘t think I‘ll ever muster the will to revisit it...I was a huge fan of The Fountainhead though. 4y
BlackCat13 @JoeMo Agreed, she does! The Fountainhead was great too. 4y

I waited too long to read this! I've heard so much about it over the years, positive and negative, and I've owned a copy of it for a long time. I was always intimidated by my paperback copy's girth, and on the shelf it sat. I ended up using an audible credit for the version read by Christopher Hurt. I'm glad I did. His performance was fantastic and I really liked the novel. I followed along and read some of it in my chunky paperback along the way.

Yooouuuu guuuyysss!!! I‘m finally finished! This beast of a book is definitely an investment of time and energy, but it‘s no shrug. (Hehe get it?) This Book was definitely before its time. I loved the strong female lead and the statements about government regulation, socialism, beaurocracy and capitalism. Not to mention the exploration into the meaning of existence. Light read: no. Good read: yes

#litsy321favorites

Jess7 Thanks for participating! 🤗 I loved Robert Gailbraith (aka: JK Rowling)'s book The Cuckoo's Calling. I haven't made it through her other two in the series yet. Have you read The Silkworm yet? If so, did it speed up after awhile? 7y
Jess7 Ooohh I love my kindle too. Which one do you have? I clung to my 2nd or 3rd generation kindle for sooo long. It's still going strong. I just gave it to my husband to use when I got my kindle paper white last Christmas. #KindlesAreTheBest 7y
clconn17 @Jess7 I read the Silkworm and liked it but not as much as the first one. Still haven't read Career of Evil yet. I have a kindle reader with the glare free screen. I love mine! 7y
TheKidUpstairs @Jess7 I loved Cuckoo's Calling, but was 'meh' about Silkworm. I hope Career of Evil is better. 7y

This was me about 5 years ago when a local bookstore, that had closed, reopened their doors to try to clear their stock before the building was demoed. Side note: that building still stands in Long Beach, CA

Books that seem #impossible and intimidate me. But one day, I will conquer you all! 😬💪🏻 #LyricalApril
Side note: I had started House of Leaves, but how the pages are set up left me feeling a little wonky, so I took a break from it - but I did love the story!

Cinfhen That stack intimidates me too🙀 7y
Moray_Reads I've read all of them but Atlas Shrugged. All well worth the (considerable) effort 😊 7y
bitterbear @Moray_Reads Atlas shrugged is horrid... I would skim it.. I've read most of her stuff and this one was tedious. 7y

Robothugs @Moray_Reads Good to know! I may take out this copy and add it to the stack - but it was hidden behind other books. 😹 (edited) 7y
Robothugs Hmm that's disappointing. I'll see how I feel about it once I start. At least I'll know I'm not alone if I don't enjoy it. @bitterbear 7y
bitterbear @Robothugs It's not terrible but once she gets started on her philosophy sh 7y
bitterbear she goes on and on... And on.. And on... And on some more. 7y
Robothugs @bitterbear oh dear 🙈 that doesn't sound like a pleasant read. 7y
Sarahr875 Oh I loved house of leaves. I do understand how you feel, though. It was a trip. You should check out The Familiar. Danielewski is such a fun author 7y
Robothugs I do plan to check that out... right after I tackle House of Leaves! 😂 @Sarahr875 7y
Sarahr875 Haha @Robothugs completely understandable! The Familiar is a lot different than House of Leaves. I can't decide which I like better. I like scary books, though, so I'm leaning toward House of Leaves. But The Familiar is a series so 🤷🏻‍♀️ maybe I'll change my mind 7y
LitLogophile I love War and Peace, and Atlas Shrugged! Infinite Jest is my big book that sits on my shelf mocking me 😂 7y
rainswept That's an Everest stack of I ever saw one! 6y
Robothugs @VincentDiakuw I can get through all of them one day if I just believe... 🤪 6y

Ugh. Crap day at work. Manager being a turd, customers being turds. Best fix? An evening with my best buddy and a favorite certain book I am rereading. Life is so good when you have books to make things better ♡ #catsoflitsy #readingcompanion #littenkitten #loki

NovelGirl82 I did! It has probably been 15 years or so since I read it (my freshman year in college- I'm showing my age here!). I saw it on audible, and saw how long it was on there, and I told him that I forgot how long that book was until I saw it written out in hours like that haha! 7y
Branwen @NovelGirl82 Hahaha! That's awesome! Wow, I can't even imagine how many hours that would take to finish it! :D 7y

This is the first book that came to mind when I saw the planes, trains and automobiles prompt. This book has so much about trains in it. I once also saw a train car in Boston that had been named "Dagny Taggart" after the character in this book. There is also a scene in the book where Dagny flies a plane, so that's two of the three. #planestrainsautomobiles #photoadaynov16

This book has made short work of everything I previously believed just and righteous, and laid foundations for new, unrivaled, completely original though. 💛
