I just finished it and have encouraged others to read it also. When asked why it should be read, I say because it explains our world today and where it is going. You will understand everything after finishing this book.
A friend told me that she read a short blurb that 2% of the entire country is currently reading Atlas Shrugged.
I have never read it and when I asked hubby if there was a copy of it in the house he informed me that his copy of it disappeared long ago.
Count me in as part of that 2%.
