Check out the "amped" version of Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged. If this is the way publishing is headed, I like it. $14.99 buys the ebook and a ton of additional content and interactive features.
TOPICS: Books/Literature; Computers/Internet
KEYWORDS: atlasshrugged

Might give it a try. I read “Atlas Shrugged” 40 years ago along with “The Fountainhead”.
Took me a couple of days to read. Much more interesting than what I was learning in skool.
Blessings, Bobo.

Crap, wish I’d have seen this before I bought my copy. It’s only a buck more than I paid for the vanilla version I keep on my phone. :-(

Just curious, have you looked into self-publishing as an e-book? I know absolutely nothing about it other than a lot of people are doing it. :-/

I’ve done a little looking into it. It’s not easy. It may be too late now.

Oh, well, you know what they say - a crappy agent is worse than no agent at all. That's why.

To: Still Thinking
actually i read atlas shrugged in college. it took me a whole weekend, but i just couldn’t put it down. i read the Fountainhead earlier, my mother had a copy on her bookshelf and curiosity got the better of me and i read that in high school.
long time ago.
blessings, bobo

I don’t care what extras this has... it won’t hold a candle to the series you two did here. I still occasionally look back at those threads because they were just so damn good.
