To: Liberty Valance

Right there with you. Atlas Shrugged is a horrible diatribe, poorly written, and pompously pedantic. My guess is that most of those who proclaim it the greatest work of literature ever have never gotten as far as you or I did.

I’m kinda agree it is not the best peace of art but you have to see through if as it is a peace of philosophy, not a funny read.

I dislike Ayn on many levels and not particularly fond in her writing style but Atlas Shrugged was a life changing experience to me.

Nothing explains the perils of socialism as good as this book.
