I actually read the whole speech simply because I figured 1,000 pages in I could suffer through the 70 or so pages of the speeck to finish the whole book. It was painful though.

I didn't like the Godlessness of the philosophy but I still loved the book and the spirit of the capitalists. Probably the best book I've ever read.

I have to admit that I skipped the John Galt speech too. The book read so well, and then 50 some freaking pages of monologue!! Holy cow! I had to get to the ending. Absorbing the tome was turning my brain to mush.

I agree with you marlon. I came away that the author was saying that giving to other people was some sort of weakness, not a strength. That the weakness belonged to the givers, not the given to's.

Now that my brain has solidified, maybe I'll tackle Galt's speech.
