Default Christmas Gifts for Everyone!

I said hero, but properly McMurphy should be referred to as one of the
protagonists.

Ayn Rand is boring. Everyone got the point after 200 or so pages of Atlas
Shrugged, but the book went on for another 800. Boooring.

Figures you would cite Sylvester Stalone as your hero.

Yeah, the hero gets laid then lobotomized. Sounds about right.


Actually it is the anti-hero, the scourge of modern literatu

If you are looking for real heroes read any of the fine literary works of
Ayn Rand (such as Atlas Shrugged) or watch movies with real heroes such as
"Rocky".

Hope you enjoyed the present, including the symbolism and subtlety as I
picked it especially for you!
