Books: Ayn Rand is the reason the human species is doomed; those Brits and their book-lovin'

Ayn Rand has a lot to answer for; one million copies of her celebration of selfishness (Atlas Shrugged) have been sold since Obama was elected. (NPR)  That smell?  One million copies of bullshit.  In the U.K., they are getting ready to print excerpts of Roald Dahl's writings on cereal boxes.  /shrug Whatever inspires kids to read, right? The Guardian has revamped its books site so that you can search for any book about which The Guardian has written, ever.  If they haven't written about it?  You can submit your own review. Rock on you adorable British people. Somebody with too much time on their hands has devised the Periodic Table of Storytelling.(Metafilter)  But then here I am blogging about it, so.  I guess what I'm saying is, what are you doing.  Examine your choices.  Good advice for all.
