I’ve been thinking of buying Atlas Shrugged by the case and handing it out on street corners. I’ve already pummeled my friends and family with multiple copies.

If I can name one book that completely altered my view on things it was this one (sorry Christians, I was raised Lutheran and the Bible didn’t blow the top of my head off nearly as much as A.S. did).

I completely agree - seldom have I read a book that was so indisputably right and it crystallized my then inchoate libertarian/conservative views.

Another book with the same power is Milton and Rose Friedman's "Free to Choose." If you have not read it, by all means locate a copy and do so.

If, God forbid, Che Obama is elected tomorrow, I propose freepers get together and donate or buy copies of Atlas Shrugged by the tens of thousands, and lets mail them to Obama and his cabinet members. Let's DROWN them in tens of thousands of copies of this wonderful, timeless classic that so beautifully tells the tale of WHY ideologies such as Obama's are disastrous to the human spirit. Who's with me?
