To: Desperately Seeking Freedom
I think ponderous is an excellent description. I wish that someone would take the theme and ideals of the book and work them into a novel that a person with less dedication to reading one book for weeks or months could handle.
I heard some time ago that a movie was going to finally be made about Atlas Shrugged. My first thought was "wow, longest movie ever..."

I heard some time ago that a movie was going to finally be made about Atlas Shrugged. My first thought was "wow, longest movie ever..." Certainly the longest movie ever in the planning process. I mean, a "future" world where the hero has to stop at a pay phone and ask for a long distance operator, and where a railroad company is at the forefront of technology? How will the screenwriters handle that?
