Ann Rand is a retread
Finding a century old guitar in cave and begging the high priests for permission to play it....magic.
RUSH - 2112.
Some of the typical negative responses to Rand...a pigeon could refute a statue more intelligently.
It took me a couple weeks to get through it, but I finished it last week (just so I could say it). Then it went out with the trash. What a waste of time.
I’m about 520 pages into Atlas Shrugged and love how the consequences of socialism is playing out. Certainly reflects much of what libs wish to do in the name of being ‘socially responsible’ (with other people’s money).
Can’t judge the entire book on 50% read, but love it so far.

‘Nuff said.
This book should be required reading for all college graduates. Once you read it you’ll never look at government power and authority and free enterprise the same way again. It is long but its message and impact is accumulative.
I’m well into the book right now.
It took a while to get going but I forced myself.
Glad I did because there are gems of wisdom in the book.
A lot of fluff and then a passage hits you. Wow, change the name of the gov agency to EPA or some other and it fits today.
Fountainhead? I got to around page 3 and called it quits. Seem to remember a naked man standing on the edge of a ravine.
