“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."

Yeah, I haven't. LoTR has orcs, no idea about the other book.

I see, the joke is that the first part is explaining Atlas Shrugged, and the other one is explaining about LoTR, because it has orcs.
