One of the best books I’ve ever read is Atlas Shrugged. I’ll look for more of her books. I did not know anything about her past. Thanks for posting this.

Good for you! All kinda great new material to devour.

You’re like a guy who just recently hears two other guys discussing The Sopranos. What is that, a TV show?

Or.. planting a tree in your yard, seeing something, and coming to the realization it’s several stacks of hundred dollar bills.

Several years ago a FReeper posted an Atlas Shrugged book club type discussion over several months. It was quite successful. Here it is: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2165176/posts

When I first read Atlas Shrugged the Book of the Month Club listed AS as its second most popular book after The Bible. A friend who I turned onto the book, last year, told me he saw a recent poll where The Bible and AS were the top two books people said greatly influenced their lives.

A quite short book Rand wrote, “Anthem” is always a good less than an hour read. It’s no doubt available to read online, somewhere, either free or very low cost. When we first read it, over 40 years ago, we thought the book illustrated a bizarre and impossible culture. But it’s happenings!

Google it: “Anthem” “Rand” “read online”

The Fountainhead is her best work, IMHO. I’m trying to get my lefty son to read it. Maybe this article will work.
Do NOT watch the movie! Worst adaptation ever! Pure dreck.
