Yes, I do have too much taste to work through Atlas Shrugged, and I attribute this at least partially to good parenting. It always saddens me to read about good minds softened by the writings of Ayn Rand, and I shudder to think about the sorts of childhoods they must have had.

Were you forced by your parents to donate your allowance to the homeless amid tears that eventually turned into self-congratulation?
What sort of "good parenting" created such a visceral aversion to Rand's philosophy? Or is it her prose style that you object to?
