I read “Atlas Shrugged”. It is a poorly written book. It is three times as long as necessary. The message is important, but Hemingway would have done a better job. I love Ernie,
Thus the saying - it’s hard to account for taste. Yes the book could have been 3x shorter, but I’d be hard-pressed to pick out the the parts to be discarded (though I’d probably start with Galt’s 3-hour speech - as much of what he states is covered elsewhere in the book).
I’d advise you on a personal level , that while you may not worship at this temple, you are still on hallowed ground. You may be “right”, but it wouldn’t hurt to keep you hat in your hands. Just my two cents...
I agree..I’m reading it now and keep thinking that there should be an abridged edition. I’d like my oldest kid to read it but know he wouldn’t be able to get through this. Cut out half of the philosophic dialog..it gets repetitive.
I’d like to see a good writer come out with a modern version..with all the modern aspects that we have to deal with now.
