My Choice for Best Read of 2004 Is from 1938

But looking back through my journal and blog, there is one book that screams, in the voice of Robert A. Heinlein, pick me!—because in reading this book and writing the review, I was prompted to reread three other excellent (though older) books.
For Us, the Living, Robert Heinlein's first novel, has its own review. To review it properly, I reread Stranger In a Strange Land and Farnham's Freehold by Heinlein. And due to the similarity of title and venue, I was lead to reread Ayn Rand's first novel, We the Living.
For these reasons, For Us, the Living is my choice for my best read of 2004.
Thanks to Gerald Van der Leun of American Digest for a better title for this post!

Pat Cummings,
I found your blog via Gerard Van der Leun's American Digest. I got very interested in reading Robert A. Heinlein's book, For Us, the Living, when I saw that you compared it with Ayn Rand's novel, We The Living. Have you seen the movie? I am a fan of Ayn Rand's books and a student of her philosophy.
All the Best,
