Someone really ought to tell them that the world of Ayn Rand?s novel was not meant to be aspirational.

I just seen this post. I am hung up about part way into number 3 (Ethan of Athos) the first two were fan darn tastic and this one just will not get started. Can I skip 3 and go to 4? They only seem lightly connected so far.

skim past and go on if you want.  seems I remember one that didn't grab me too.  Even though they seem lightly connected, there are important bits to catch.  If you get to 4 and find you missed something you can always go back and find what you missed.

Glad you are enjoying.  I found it by accident and was hooked  :-)

Skipped number 3 and jumped to #4. Not connected and fan-darn-tastic.  Now I went to #5 and it looks like they went back to the series of #2? Pretty confusing as to how they are ordered. We don?t get flying weather here soon my gardens and the bees are going to float away.

it's been awhile, but some of them deal with different bits of the story.  I think you could look up the series on and of the book sites and probably sort by the synopsis.
