Is it true it took her 14 years to write Atlas Shrugged?
Twelve years.
It took 2000 years to write the Old Testament and 30-40 years to write the New Testament. Whether you agree with her or not, she questioned centuries-old paradigms and thought-processes and just about everything else. I started reading her stuff 30 years ago and still do, among many other authors and thinkers. She challenged every assumption I ever had, and I am grateful for it. Ron Paul, Rand Paul, Ronald Reagan, Paul Ryan, and many, many others in the Pantheon of conservative thinkers absorbed her ideas and wove them into their political ideologies. She remains one of my favorites.
dunno. [shrugs]
