FREE Objectivist Books

The Rational Egoist offers free objectivist books - all you have to do is pledge that you will read it. Here's what he says on his site:

I will buy anyone a copy of Atlas Shrugged, or any other Objectivist book (fiction or non). You simply have to pledge to read the book.

This includes any book by Ayn Rand, such as The Fountainhead, The Virtue of Selfishness, Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal, or Philosophy: Who Needs It. (The Ayn Rand Institute has complete lists of Rand’s fiction and non-fiction.) It also includes books by Leonard Peikoff or other Objectivists, such as Objectivism: The Philosophy of Ayn Rand.

Feel free to pass this offer on to anyone you think might be interested. However, quantities are limited, and books will be given out first-come, first-served. So act now!

To take me up on this offer: Contact me (jason@rationalegoist.com), tell me which book you want, and pledge to read it. Include the mailing address you’d like the book sent to.

I enjoyed reading The Fountainhead. Although I'm not really intelligent when it comes to Philosophy (Math, maybe) and whatever I know, I learned from my required Philo courses in college, I... I was affected by that book. It made me see things differently.

I also don't agree with everything that Ayn Rand says. As much as I don't agree with everything that Pope Benedict XVI says. But. Just but.

So I want to read Atlas Shrugged and hopefully I get a free copy from this guy. His link was posted on Reddit so I don't know if I reached the quota.
