Please add me to the Atlas Shrugged ping list.

When good compromises with evil, it is only evil that can profit.

Thanks for putting this together! I'm enjoying the heck out of checking the posts on Saturday night.

I have had the book forever and never read it until now. Thanks to all for not spoiling it for those of us that have not read it yet!

RE the chapter - I really admire d’Anconia’s character. We don’t yet know why he is doing what he is doing, but we have hints that it was difficult and painful for him.

The difference between his “Who is John Galt?” and the others’ is that he is paddling his own metaphorical canoe, not being carried by a current he feels powerless to control. We don’t understand where he is taking it, but he is clearly the one in control.

Dang. I am in the 16th month of a 16th month project implementation at work, and haven’t been able to follow this at all...This is one of my favorite parts of the book, when the mine hoax is exposed...

I like the way you are driving this...I hope to pick it up on the other side.

Bump for reading later.
