I read "Atlas Shrugged" in the 1980s -- loved it. I said, "It's so true!"
I re-read "Atlas Shrugged" during the Clinton Administration -- loved it. I said, "Wow! Is this book true!!"

I don't have to re-read it again now. I just look out my window.

I read "Atlas Shrugged" in the 1970s -- found it overrated. Rand exaggerated her villains to the point that they were not believable.

I read "Atlas Shrugged" again two years ago -- found it overrated. Rand's imagination fell so far short of the real thing that I surprised she watered down her story so much.

Both times I found the 800 page monologue in the middle to be deathly dull.
