10 days into the new year and I'm trying to get on a roll with the resolutions. This year, I feel like I made resolutions that are a) totally accomplishable (even if that's not a word) and b) things I really want to do, instead of years past where I may have set my sights too high.Next up on the list -- reading Atlas Shrugged.
When Christian and I first started dating he really wanted me to read The Fountainhead. Went on and on about how it was his favorite book and he reads it over and over again. I was totally skeptical. I had heard not great things about Ayn Rand (her politics and views on women, not her writing specifically) and I wasn't excited about reading a super long book by an author who seemed totally not my kind of woman, if you know what I mean. But, eventually, I gave in and read it. Probably more of a testament to how much I wanted Christian to like me than how much I really thought I would enjoy the book. Turns out, it's an amazing book. One that I will definitely read again.
Before I can read The Fountainhead again, Christian has been on me for awhile to read Atlas Shrugged. The version he has is just enormous. Over 1000 pages and God knows how much this thing weighs. But, I know it will be good, so I'm taking it on. Starting tonight. Wish me luck! I'll be sure to post my progress and my thoughts along the way if for no other reason than to help me remember what all happens in those 1000+ pages.
