Out of curiosity, and I know this may become a tangent, but why is Rand a lunatic? This is the first work I've ever read by her and I'm generally unaware of her reputation/etc. I guess I could Wikipedia it, but I'm feeling lazy.
Also, I forgot to mention that I am also reading Here Comes Everybody by Clay Shirky, which is a bit dry, but enjoyable.

@Banana- I love that book. "A gram is better than a damn."
@Brock- Isn't the battle game cool? And all the strategies...
I myself am currently reading Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged. I'm 200 pages in and already I don't want the book to end. I haven't experienced such deep characters since Crime and Punishment a few years ago.
What have you been reading recently?

Upon Wikipedia-ing, I can see why people dislike Rand and how her ideas play out in her characters in Atlas Shrugged. Nevertheless, as offensive/juvenile as Objectivism is, I have to applaud her for the novelty of it- because it is interesting--- which is not my way of saying that I agree, for the record.
