Is being able to take on Ayn Rand really that pressing? WHO do you hang around with anyhow, lol? No, I just mean - I haven't seen a copy of one of her books on a coffee table or on the back of a toilet since the 1980's. What am I reading? er ... a book about a gay kid who discovers he has superpowers. Oh, and another book about a woman who also has superpowers. But she can control the weather. Uh, forget I said anything.
It's not pressing, I just figure I should read an opposing view, and she does have some very stringent supporters, especially amongst the Right. It's a know your opposite thing, I guess, like newleaf says.

Okay, now I want to know what these books are so I can add them to my list.
The first book is "Hero," by Perry Moore. I had some issues with the prose - I dunno, sometimes I find that men who write for teens adopt a sparse style that I kind of find hard to follow. So I had to work to get into it. But the characters were good and ultimately I found it a rewarding read. The second book is "Ill Wind," by Rachel Caine, and so far I'm liking the protagonist and the story.
