I have your book, but I’ve never been able to read the whole of “Atlas Shrugged.” You guys also mention the difficulty of reading the complete novel. Is there a good abridged edition that you might recommend? Not a “Readers Digest” version but a version that follows the important points made in your book?

I as well purchased the book when it was new.
I ended up giving it to my son who lives in another state. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that my purchase included a Kindle version. I ended up with a version as did my boy. Sweet.
There’s an audio version read by Edward Hermann which is very good.
