No need to be defensive or apologize! I have watched Doctor Zivago at least a dozen times, and even named my daughter for the two main women characters! (OK, Lara became Cara two days before she was born for reasons not relevant here, but the middle name stayed put). And I have watched Blazing Saddles even more times than that, each time hearing a clever “joke” I hadn’t noticed the past 20 times! And I have read Atlas Shrugged , Fountainhead, and We The Living multiple times. You introduced me to Atlas Shrugged and it comprises more than a thousand pages! But it never gets old and mirrors multiple periods of time in our country. Dagney Taggart became, and will forever be, my hero and role model. I have reread that book over and over to regain my perspective, confidence, and motivation. So, no, do not feel defensive or apologetic - you are not alone!
