    Yup, it was pretty good too but I think I prefer Fountainhead, I read Atlas after Fountainhead and their central themes are pretty much identical so maybe I didn't find Atlas as original. Also Atlas is very, very long bordering on tedious at times. Don't get me wrong it's still an amazing novel and definitely worth reading if you enjoy Fountainhead.

    I picked up some new books this week, dispite not having finished some others.

    I'm about halfway through Shadows Edge by Brett Weeks, almost finished The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde, bought and read Guards! Guards! and Men At Arms by Terry Pratchett, bought and am currently reading Inkheart, I also bought Inkspell and Let The Right One In. Also have The Name of the Wind waiting to be read and have read the first few chapters of Northern Lights (aka The Golden Compass.)

    They are all on my special in the middle of reading/waiting to be read shelf on the bookcase nearest my bed.

    Orwell's 1984. Fecking finally, I've read a few of his books already but somehow never got around to this one. Same way as I've read nearly every John Steinbeck book, even little second-hand now-out-of-print ones, but haven't yet managed to read The Grapes of Wrath. Or Irvine Welsh... I'll stop now.
