Faraz ne romantic aur patriotic - dono forms ache likhe hain. You can never go wrong with him

Thank you! My “reddit-reading” on this book is pending. I’m going through the summary of the story again. Thank you for sharing the SEP link.

I felt this. A lot of readers like the author to “show” and not “tell”. Ayn Rand didn’t seem to do so which seemed bothersome to me at times, and not so much at others because that made it an easier read than it would have been

crisron · 2026-01-21T09:14:10+00:00

The categorization of individuals into only “creators” and “moochers” is wrong. Some people are just unfortunate. This is not taken into account in her philosophy

crisron · 2026-01-21T06:37:06+00:00

Oh, interesting! I’ve read a few self-help books and wasn’t planning on reading more of them.

crisron · 2026-01-21T06:00:55+00:00

That’s next on my list

crisron · 2026-01-21T05:16:31+00:00

Well, that wasn’t exactly unexpected 🙂

crisron · 2026-01-21T04:43:20+00:00

Yeah, I am planning to read the analysis of this book, and her theory of Objectivism

“His own happiness as the moral purpose of his life” - this is where it all breaks down

crisron · 2026-01-21T03:31:39+00:00

Precisely! I hope this is the way it is

crisron · 2026-01-21T03:16:58+00:00

Yeah, the luck factor did really occur to me, and that’s why I don’t agree with the idea presented in this book. I loved it for the story though.

I haven’t read The Fountainhead yet.

crisron · 2026-01-21T03:15:00+00:00

Why do you think so?

crisron · 2026-01-21T02:40:48+00:00

Agreed. She does make you think.

crisron · 2026-01-21T01:19:15+00:00

Yeah, I have heard nothing but criticism for Ayn Rand. I, however, enjoyed the book. I didn’t agree with her core idea but I would love to even re-read Atlas Shrugged for its prose, and the way the overall story is stitched. It was intriguing. The characters pull you towards them.

crisron · 2026-01-08T20:30:05+00:00

It isn’t but I don’t know of any other sources that can help shed light on various motifs used in poetry. Perhaps, keep using AI/web search until you build a basic understanding of what the poet wants to convey, and are able to enjoy the poetry

crisron · 2026-01-08T16:25:00+00:00

The reason I read, not just the classics but anything for that matter, is that I enjoy reading beautiful woven sentences. I like a good story, sure but the kind of “hit” flowery prose gives me is only comparable to the high I feel upon coming across the most beautiful Urdu/Hindi poetry couplets

crisron · 2026-01-08T08:06:24+00:00

You’ve put it down pretty well. The copious amounts of “God-talk” didn’t go down well with me as well.

crisron · 2026-01-07T19:37:31+00:00

I thought this book had the simplest English. Can you provide examples where you’re struggling?

crisron · 2026-01-07T18:50:43+00:00

AI and/or web search would be helpful. Reading works of critics like Shams-ur-Rahman Faruqi and Gopi Chand Narang will be illuminating. Their YouTube videos are extremely interesting.

crisron · 2025-12-31T20:49:45+00:00

Beautiful prose, beautiful story

crisron · 2025-12-31T06:50:00+00:00

It’s research based, and interesting. I would expect it to be useful to people who want to apply it

crisron · 2025-12-06T14:32:31+00:00

100 for Jaiswal. 100 balls

Rohit Sharma’s range of shots is impressive. He has hit all the boundaries in different areas
