“What books didn’t influence me?” she writes. “If only someone would ask that! I’ve been waiting for years to answer it. Atlas Shrugged, by Ayn Rand, I will say, had absolutely no influence on me except to cause hours of incredulous boredom. I thought in all fairness I ought to try The Fountainhead. I gave up on page 10.”

    Thing is that this is true. I can't think if any now, but I know that a few digitized books have had revisions done to them post-publishing, with the originals unable to be now purchased. Like, the author finished the book a certain way, its not cool for the publisher to go back and edit. Like Lucas changing the guns to walkie talkies.
