I finished Anthem today. It was a quick read, but good. Quite good. In fact, it follows quite nicely from Animal Farm. Despite a bit of lampooning of Ayn Rand in the Sluggy Freelance web comic, she seems to have been an interesting individual, and I'd consider reading more of her work.
Next, I'm going to read something much, much lighter: Peter Pan by J. M. Barrie. I consider myself lucky to have never seen any of the Peter Pan movies, with the exception of Hook, and shouldn't have any pre-conceived notions about the book. This edition is published by Knopf for the Everyman's Library imprint, and features illustrations by F. D. Bedford, which appear to be engravings much in the style of Albrecht Dürer.
