    The book I read this month is called "Anthem" by Ayn Rand. Anthem is a fiction book and was quite interesting.

It was very confusing to read at times but in the end everything

    "Attack" and "Anthem for Doomed Youth" Attack - Siegfried Sassoon analysiss At dawn the ridge emerges massed and dun In the wild purple of the glowering sun‚ Smouldering through spouts of drifting smoke that shroud The menacing scarred slope; and‚ one by one‚ Tanks creep and topple forward to the wire.
