			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=bookshelf0e5-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=0385513992" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" />When I joined Twitter, the first thing I learned was that I had to make myself get noticed, so I added myself to those directories (none of which I could name) where I had to categorize myself so that way people would find me and follow me (it still sounds very stalkerish). Little did I know that by listing myself as "Libertarian" would get me half of the followers that I have now.</p>
<p>One person who followed me was Anne Heller, the author of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0385513992?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=bookshelf0e5-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=0385513992" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Ayn Rand and the World She Made</span></a>. This book is the end result of a labor of love. She is extremely proud of this book, and from what I'm gathering from reviews, she should be. This was released around the same time as <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0195324870?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=bookshelf0e5-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=0195324870" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Goddess of the Market: Ayn Rand and the American Right</span></a> by Jennifer Burns, which didn't recieve as good a critical response. Feeling some tinge of a loyalty to my Twitter bretheren Heller, I haven't bought that one yet and don't plan on it until after I finish this one.</p>
<p>Who was Ayn Rand? She was a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Objectivism_(Ayn_Rand)" target="_blank">philosopher</a>, most famously known for her two novels <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0452286751?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=bookshelf0e5-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=0452286751" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">The Fountainhead</span></a> and <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0452011876?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=bookshelf0e5-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=0452011876" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Atlas Shrugged</span></a>. Most of all, she was a woman I intend on finding out more about while I read this book.</p>
<p>I shall make reports along the way.</p>
