I read them both in high school as well. I found Rand hard to read, as you could see the point some 2000 words before she got there, but slogged through all her fiction because they came highly recommended. Tolkien was a tedious read too, but the Peter Jackson movies made them watchable, unlike the Rand movies. I read the books again with my son, and realised that I had missed the racism completely the first time. Ram
