I tried 3 times to read Atlas Shrugged. I failed.
I did however read The Fountainhead ... twice!

Buy the book that Billthedrill and I wrote -- Who is John Galt? -- and read it at the same time as Atlas Shrugged. It's an exceptional companion to the book. By the time you're done, you will understand it.

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.

“The Fountainhead”....liked the book and the movie with Gary Cooper and Patricia Neal (the latter...va va voom!). Started reading “Atlas Shrugged”.....started snoozing after three pages. Haven’t seen the movie yet.
