I tried for Ayn Rand and about 30% of the books were precisely the kind of book fans of Rand adore, stuff like productivity,self-help, sales. The other 20% or so were books written by black authors, because apparently according to the author being a Randite is being a racist, that is not the case, the problem with Randites was nailed by John Rogers years ago: "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."
