This is great....I’ll follow the thread ..... but I won’t read it again....once (when I was in my early 30’s) was enough....too many books....too little time right now. But, everyone should read it ONCE!

Americans accepted that things were hopeless and that nothing could be done. Feelings replaced facts. The very nature of reality was questioned. It took only a decade of economic stasis, misguided politics and cultural pollution to create the hell described by Rand. Ouch. Too close to today's reality.
To: Publius
I’d like to join. I chew threw 2-4 conservative/political books a month.
In my Christian high school, we weren’t permitted to read Atlas Shrugged because of Rand’s atheism. I’ve read parts later in life, and would enjoy a discussion.

Was talking only today to a coworker about
Atlas Shrugged.Unfortunately, Ayn Rand is unknown here in Germany - even among intellectuals.
I've got to get me a copy and reread it - it's been twenty-five years. Suppose that I'll have to order it online, since I want it in the original.

I don't recall the chapter where John or Francisco curled up with a good book. Education is necessary.. everyone should read Rand, but the decades of opportunity to teach are gone. We aren't in an age of the mind, right now. Force will decide the future, not words.

Please sign me up. I have read it several times and hope to read it several more. I love the "throw back" quality, the timelessness of it. Since it is a story about human nature, the absence gadgets and technology that have come along since the book were written don't have any impact on the heart of the story for me.
I believe we are still early in this book. Once Zero is sworn in, the Looters will have "their man in Washington" and things will really begin to crumble.

Well, I know that I often feel like Eddie, wondering what in the world is going on, and what’s wrong with these people.
One thing that I will say... I think that Ayn Rand must be spinning in her grave, because it’s the leftists that have completely mastered the revelation that Frisco revealed to Hank Reardon: The leftists have rejected the entire concept of guilt, to the point that they no longer have even the slightest bit of conscience, as we can see with the nomination of the guy for Secretary of the Treasury who didn’t pay his taxes. And the leftists are saying “it’s no big deal.” Talk about not being laden with guilt - or conscience.

The only book I have re-read multiple times. The only thing that breaks my heart is that Ms. Rand was an atheist. I would have found her company engaging forever. Fountainhead was good, but not Atlas Shrugged. We The Living was so horribly sad, I couldn’t take it.
