You're thinking of Fight Club.


Nope, this:

Anyone who thinks Tyler Durden is the hero of Fight Club has some problems. And is probably a big Rand fan, too.


Wow, try to see the humor. I probably read Ayn Rand 20 years before you were born.

Oh, it was a joke. What was it? That Fight Club is similar? Because it's the exact opposite.

Putting aside the fact that you weren't even alive 20 years before I was born, reading a Rand book at any point in your life is nothing to be proud of.

Edit: Goddamnit! I can't even manage to post a single message without screwing up badly enough to need to edit it three friggin' times.

I have also read The Odyssey. If you haven't you should.

The Odyssey is more like it. Even though the translation I was forced to read in school was awful.

I had a great translation, but I only remember the cover, not who translated it.
