Atlas Shrugged

Has anyone else read this? I'm only about 1/3 of the way through the book, but it seems to have some interesting ideas. It's not realistic, but it is a great political book. I'd love to have a discussion about it, just as soon as I finish it.

I am reading it also, but for the third time. I am about 3/4 done. I find that discussing Ayn Rand here is pretty pointless, most of the people here either don't appreciate or don't approve of objectivism, and use ridiculous one sentence claims in arguements.

Keep reading, the book probably changed my life and perhaps it will affect yours too.

Yes....I'm now reading Atlas Shrugged. I've just finished Fountainhead and it's the greatest book I've ever read. I'm about 1/4 through Atlas Shrugged...I think I might like it even more. These books have affected me profoundly. I'm buying up many of Ayn Rand's other books right now in preparation of my finishing Atlas Shrugged (The Virtue of Selfishness, The Romantic Manifesto, Anthem, etc). I'm 23 now and my only complaint is that I could have found these books earlier.
