Atlas Shrugged - Which Character Do You Like Most?
I love the character in Atlas Shrugged of Lillian Riordan, whose Hank Riordan's wife. And what is amazing about her, she's his wife, he's his big industrialist, innovator. But she's so cold and soulless that there's- I joke about Anne Rand's vampire novels. That character is as close to a literal vampire as you're going to see in Rand. What I love about Reardon is his evolution, right? He's a hero who is completely flawed. It drives me nuts when people say, who characters are cartoonish, they never change, there's no emotion.
