I am number two on a waiting list for this book at my local library and they have 15 copies of the book, so I should have it soon and will play catch up if need be so I can participate in the discussion.

While I am waiting for the copy of “Atlas Shrugged” I am reading a book published shortly after WWII, titled, “Behind the Curtain” by John Gunther. I have just started the book, but it is interesting to read about the communist influence in Europe.

One interesting point made in the book thus far, was that the communists wanted there to be large populations of poor people, as that made it easier for them to institute communist and socialist policies to take care of the people.
