If you're going to read it again, buy this book for a deeper understanding. Billthedrill and I could use the royalties.

Ok I have questions and I'm NOT being snarky asking them (for a change.)

I'll start with the most basic one after reading the summary of your and BillTheDrill's book:

If I can read your book and have each chapter summarized, pointing out what it is Ayn Rand is saying in plain language, why would I then bother reading the book? Were you aiming for the "Cliff's Notes" version of Atlas Shrugged, or a supplemental to it?

Please don't get me wrong: Not being snarky or a smartass (like I'd normally be) I'm really genuinely curious.

Personally, I like "the journey" of reading Ayn Rand and picking up something new that I might not have understood previously (not unlike my Bible) and having that "ah ha!" moment.

Last comment: I originally read Atlas Shrugged the first time in paperback. Loved it so much I bought it in hardcover. I do so enjoy reading the hardcover more than a paperback.
