Thanks, I’ve forgotten more stuff I learned than I can remember. ;-) I could Google/Wiki but it is irritating when “erudite” leaves 99% thinking “opaque”. Throw in one more sentence in explanation. IMHO. ;-)

[Gabz]

I have never read it and when I asked hubby if there was a copy of it in the house he informed me that his copy of it disappeared long ago.

[Salgak]

And more importantly. . . .what is Dagny’s phone number ???

[Misterioso]

Can someone use this opportunity to actually post something useful today?

Depends on what the word "useful" means. Freepers have the opportunity to do this all day long, but it seems to be a rare skill these days.

I know who John Galt is, I just don’t give a damn. And yeah, I read the damn book.

[NYC GOP Chick]

But are we allowed to ask Who is John Galt Construction?

[Misterioso]

Do you know when it was dedicated and why? The map shows it to be about four blocks long.

> A friend told me that she read a short blurb that 2% of the entire country is currently reading Atlas Shrugged.

Count me in as part of that 2%.

Currently 3/4ths through my 4th (5th?) reading myself.

(tho I must confess that the last few readings I’ve skimmed through the “this is John Galt” speech.)

I had to buy my copy because our library has a waiting list for its three copies. My sister in Missouri had a similar situation — 12 people waiting for one of three copies.

Perhaps a more appropriate question these days might be:

Just who the Heck is Caroline Kennendy?

[RobFromGa]

I just want to find the Gulch...

The red zone is for immediate loading and unloading of passengers only, there is no stopping in the white zone.

NO! The white zone is for immediate loading and unloading and there is no stopping in the red zone.

[Dead Corpse]

American Zone.

Henry Martyn.

Bretta Martyn.

The Crystal Empire.

Lever Action.

Still need to add Hope to my collection.

[Dead Corpse]

I’ll pass on the fish...

[Travis T. OJustice]

Just who the Heck is Caroline Kennendy?

Hold the Schlossberg?

[Radix]

".....BTW, I’ve got my copy of Atlas Shrugged on order....."

I finally read it last year. I was kicking myself for waiting so long just after finishing it..

I underlined the heck out of my copy. Bought a second copy for my kid.

Funny I got to the same sort of place in my thinking years before I actually read it. I certainly am glad that I now actually know who John Galt is.

The white zone is for loading and unloading only. If you gotta load, or unload, go to the white zone. You’ll love it.

We take you now to a garage in Canoga Park...
