Ohmigosh what are the odds?? I picked up Atlas Shrugged for the first time on Wednesday (at the public library) and started reading it this morning (for reals!). I have never read it before!

You are in for an awakenening. Trust me when I tell you this, that there will be parts of Atlas Shrugged that you'd rather skip over because it's long, dry, and you get sick of reading the same descriptive words over, and over, and over.

Resist the temptation to skip part of the book. Resist the temptation to give up.

When you complete Atlas Shrugged, you never look at the world the same way again. I first read it all the way through in 1993. What an eye opener. Many of my personal views and convictions were formed as a result of Rand. My strict adherence to personal responsibility and accountability, my view of "leeches" on society, and my views towards government and "moral obligations" dramatically changed.

I'd love to chat and exchange thoughts once you complete teh book. :)

Dammit, now here's a book I now have to read. Everyone I know is reading it. Jeez, okay, the peer pressure worked, I'll go get a copy tomorrow. Now, I ask all of you to read a book called, "The Oklahoma City Bombing And The Politics Of Terrorism."
