I don't think that We, The Living is mentioned that much because it is boring. That must have been my bathroom reader for a year...and I read fast.

Thanks for the info... I'll read some other book of hers before reading that one.

Done right, Anthem would make a great movie.

BTW, it is available from Project Gutenberg: http://www.noblesoul.com/orc/texts/anthem/complete.html
