Not sure you care to read a book review after the enthralling ZapFest, but I just finished reading Anthem, my thoughts below 👇

Overall I was pleasently surprised. This was my first introduction to Rand's work and it held up to the hype. I was expecting the book to be more scifi about how communistic structures tear the world apart, and it was, but just not in the manner that I expected.

The book was focused on language, and specifically, how it can be used to change the way that you think. Not just about the world, but about yourself. This is specifically one of the things that attracted me to writing, because some lessons are only capable of being learned through FEELING it. You could have told me that this language is important a thousand times, but getting to ride around in the characters head and see it happen was a profoundly different experience.

One that I would certainly recommend! If you have read any Rand, let me know, I will be diving into more of her work and would love to hear which one I should tackle next.
