"Atlas Shrugged," is selling at a faster rate today than at any time during its 51-year history. That's good news. The more people who read it, the better.
It's one heck of a long story, but once you start reading it, it's hard to put down. I even got my husband hooked on it.

Read a post here not too long ago that said something like 8 percent of Americans have read the book.

I gave everyone I know a copy of it for Christmas. IMHO it’s required reading for the entire populace. I don’t necessarily agree with everything in it (there is a place for *voluntary* altruism, IMHO, for instance) but it made me think harder than any book I’d ever read and drastically altered my view of the world.
