'.....Stupid....'

pssst T/J..... Atlas Shrugged...is seen by many as the 2ND MOST INFLUENTIAL BOOK EVER WRITTEN 2nd only to the Bible.

While i reject it's athiesm, old Ayn makes a lot of sense otherwise..ATLAS and 'The Fountainhead' along with 'For the New Intellectual' are fascinating along with her Objectivist Philosophy which is as good a way to lead your life as any.

I enjoyed “Atlas Shrugged,” but fully a third of that book could’ve been edited out and it would’ve been just as powerful and well-spoken. Rand felt the need to say the same thing 24,438 times through each of her Adonis-like characters. By the time I got to Galt’s radio address, I had pretty well tuned out and was just skipping ahead to see the story’s conclusion.
