I am grateful to whoever decided to meme this reading challenge onto this site. Moby Dick is comfy so far, and it feels like something I'm going to want to revisit later. Very romantic (in the idealistic sense), and it feels like an adventure so far.

Cather earned her place in the canon. The Prairie Trilogy is phenomenal. Not perfect, of course — the dialog sometimes slumps, and a handful of the metaphors she uses have been clichés since before she was born, but, overall, her writing was top-notch. It's a shame that most academics are doing "queer" readings of her work when her ideas on their own are actually interesting. She basically predicted contemporary neoliberalism.

Rand pales in comparison, but because Rand is/was a neoliberal, she borrows a lot of Cather's underlying ideas.
>protestant work ethic
>women should reject femininity
>success in a craft is the ultimate good for any individual
>america is meritocratic, or close to it
>failure in your chosen field of work is caused by some deeper moral failure
>men who sleep around are icky, but all is forgiven if they're also good at a thing
>i have underlying daddy issues & i desire to be dominated by a man who is an incarnation of my ideals
Atlas Shrugged is basically a retelling of O Pioneers, but with all of the subtlety of nuance taken out.

Paper was fun to write to be desu with you.
