I agree. You may have seen the spoof of her writing style Atlas Dined posted here.

That's an awesome find! Bookmarked for later.

I always thought Atlas Shrugged was about 200 pages too short. There should have been more development on John Galt. Like, the years he worked as a laborer, and the other guys would make fun of him for working on his nerdy projects instead of joining them for a beer. When they would ask why he did it, he would answer "Who is John Galt?", and they would say "You're John Galt, you idiot!"

On several occasions, he would go to his flop-house apartment where he worked on his machine, only to find the door kicked open by some local ne'er do well, causing his machine to turn to dust and he'd have to start all over. Galt would always mumble "Damn, I gotta get a stronger door!"

I saved "Atlas Dined" as a bookmark and read it every year. It cracks me up.
