“Atlas Shrugged” is, without doubt, my favorite book.
She was a bit of an a-hole narcissist in life, but she understood common human themes and portrayed them with great courage and imagination
On my list of favorites too, but it could have used some judicious editing.
I’ll keep my eye out for more reviews of Ideal, and may order it.
AS is not my favorite book, but it’s outstanding nonetheless. I’ll always own a copy.
Galt’s 20+ page deal near the end was a slog though.
It bugged me her protagonists were perfect specimens. While many of her theories rang true for me, I think her characters could/should have been more true-to-life. Not every hero is an Adonis/Aphrodite.
I’m an a**hole critic. I read a lot...which in no manner means I’m right.
