Vishwadeep Singh Singh itibaren Gangoli, Uttar Pradesh 243632, India
This was my favorite book in high school, and I would pontificate about it to anyone who would listen. Rand's philosophy was enormously formative, although I think it's ultimately lacking--can actually make life unlivable. She is an enormous storyteller, however, and I don't know if I've ever read anything (esp. of this length) as quickly as I read this book.
