Day 63 [Atlas Shrugged]

I'm sure you think I'm off my rocker with a title like that!
My husband starting reading the novel, and I mean novel people....it's 1084 pages!, Atlas Shrugged.  He has three copies of it as the first one he bought has super duper teeny tiny words, he found one on ebay that he thought was bigger, but when it arrived he realized it's the exact same size.  He also put a bid on another simply because it's an old copy, from the 50's I believe.  He thinks that's super cool, me...not so much, but whatever makes him happy makes me happy.  I told my husband with that many pages it would take him forever to get through it.  He has surprised me and is moving along at a pretty good pace, for him anway.  He used to take years to read a book simply because he wouldn't devote any time to reading!  When he was quickly approaching the half way mark in the book (page 542 for those who are counting) I told him once he got to that magical page I would bake him a cake.  He got to and past page 542 while away on a business trip last week.  Tonight I made good on the promise we enjoyed Atlas Shrugged cake!

  1. Love the depth of field--and the story! And I'm so jealous of your scrap studio! I have a side of my husband's office and it's a messssss!

  3. Ask him, "Who is John Galt". I preferred the Fountainhead by Ayn Rand. One of my favourite books.

    Also- cake! MmM.
