Did this John Aglialoro have anything to do with “Cop Rock”?
While we’re on the subject, has anyone here actually managed to read “Atlas Shrugged” cover-to-cover?

While we’re on the subject, has anyone here actually managed to read “Atlas Shrugged” cover-to-cover? I've read it several times. Thought it was pretty good stuff, until I realized that Rand's philosophy is founded on assertions that don't withstand the logical scrutiny she herself demanded.
It became clear to me, for example, that Rand's philosophy cannot withstand the moral implications of something so natural as being a parent.
So much for that, then.

Yes, several times. Also, I had the abridged audio tapes which were about 12 hours. Loaned them to a soldier and they’re still getting some use in Afghanistan.

While we’re on the subject, has anyone here actually managed to read “Atlas Shrugged” cover-to-cover? Only four times. I'm a slow reader.

I did it once. Rand has the power to make a 50-page speech interesting.

While we’re on the subject, has anyone here actually managed to read “Atlas Shrugged” cover-to-cover? A couple times, and a musical, it ain't.

Yes. Many of us read Atlas Shrugged together for the FReepr book club discussion of it.

Yes, I actually slogged through every friggen word of it. Ergo my approval of a musical treatment.
