Supposedly one of the most widely read books in the country, but you wouldn't know it by talking with people. My guess is that most people who read it are teenage girls and think it is a romance novel.

You're just not talking to the right crowd. I've read it twice and am now listening to the audio version of it while working out.

My mother has read it twice.

My father has read it.

My son-in-law has read it and has begun reading it a second time.

My son-in-law to be is reading it.

None of these people are teenage girls. The book is ranked at #434 on Amazon 48 years after it was first published. That's pretty good.

I am the only person in my house to have read it, but even my cousin the liberal is intelligent enough to understand the concepts in it. My grandma may have read it when it was new, but she doesn't have a good memory, and her whole conversation these days is eaten alive by, " honey would you get me something to eat?" so who knows.
I have read almost everyone of Ayn Rands books, and the ones I have not read yet, i'm quite sure are on my bookshelf waiting for me to read.

Each year, I buy a dozen or more used copies of Atlas Shrugged from Amazon for next to nothing. I make a point of giving them away to those who exhibit a spark of interest in their own freedom.
