There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.

Was he right?

He was right about LOTR against Atlas Shrugged but wrong in that only these two books can change a fourteen-year's old life

Look at Fingolfin, fighting the Black Enemy before the iron gates of Angband and not giving a fuck

I read 1984 when I was like 11 and it only allowed me to view knowledge in a postmodernist light, taking nothing as absolutley true. I also doubted authority figures more often.

So you absorbed O'Brien's ideology?
