"There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.[Kung Fu Monkey -- Ephemera, blog post, March 19, 2009]"

"روايتان اثنتان بوسعهما أن تغيرا حياة يافعٍ في الرابعة عشرة، مولعٍ بالكتب: "سيد الخواتم" و"أطلس هازئاً". إحداهما خيالٌ صبيانيٌّ غالباً ما يورث هوساً مدى الحياة بأبطاله الخارقين، مفضياً إلى نضجٍ عاطفيٍّ معوّقٍ، وشللٍ اجتماعيٍّ في الكبر، وعجزٍ عن التعامل مع العالم الحقيقي. أما الأخرى، ففيها، بالطبع، الأورك."
