Finished: Anthem (Rand). Well, that was freaky. It took us a while to get used to the singular narrator talking in plural throughout the entire book until the end. We purposely picked the shortest Ayn Rand book because we weren't really sure how we'd like her writing. We may later go back and read Fountainhead or Atlas Shrugged. Anthem reminded us so much of Brave New World, published several years before. There were several differences, but the basic dystopian society was similar. It makes us wonder if Rand and Huxley got together at some drug party one night and talked and laughed and made up their "what if" worlds. At least there seemed to be hope for Equality 7-2521/Prometheus and Liberty 5-3000/Gaea in the end as opposed to Brave New World's ill-fated Savage. We will not put this book on the favorites list, but are glad we read it.
