"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".[Rogers]

This is such a dumbs one-sided quote that does not even deserve to see the day of light. I really hope there aren't more people who deeply understand the world as this person does. Very childish indeed.
