Contestant's answer: "Ayn Rand"

I laughed pretty hard at that.

Very similar, but even funnier. I saw this on TV once and was very pleased to just find it on YouTube now. -- (link) - Mop Jan 9, 14:56
I'm not sure I could pick a more incompatible subject and author. -- nm - Reagen Jan 9, 14:51 1
- To be fair, in the end the dude won $50,000, so he's the one who was laughing last. (nm) - musubi Jan 9, 14:52
Fwiw, I found Atlas Shrugged pretentious and unwieldy. - Trish Jan 9, 14:45 9
- Maybe they'll put out an illustrated edition like they have with some of Dan Brown's tomes. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jan 9, 14:58 2
  - This, coming from a person who reads and quotes Ann Coulter as if she's some kind of prophet? - Trish Jan 9, 15:11 1
    - Promise? - Dr.Vermin Jan 9, 15:11
- Everytime I read it I find something significantly enlightening... - Mel Profit Jan 9, 14:49
- What about The Fountainhead? (nm) - musubi Jan 9, 14:47 4
  - It's an easier read, but stiff isn't really my thing. - Trish Jan 9, 14:50
  - PS- I did see crash's endorsement. (nm) - musubi Jan 9, 14:49 2
    - such as it was, it was an endorsement in comparison to another book, not a wholesale endorsement of ideas contained in either book. -- nm - crash davis Jan 9, 14:57 1
      - Understood, thanks. (nm) - musubi Jan 9, 14:59
