Have you ever read Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand?
Or am I the only relatively-young person on Earth who knows about this book? This thread is to satisfy a curiosity of mine: the curiosity of whether or not anybody has read a book which I found extremely inspiring. If you have, please, tell me. If you haven't I encourage you to at least check it out.
So far, basically nobody who I ask this question says yes. This is somewhat agonizing as the book has many ideas and ideals in it that I think are worth discussion, but I don't want to ruin the book for anyone who has not read it. Let me know if you have.

Re: Have you ever read Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand?
I bought it awhile back, but have yet to gather the ambition to tackle it. Seriously, that's a long ****ing read.
Though if you like Ayn Rand, I highly recommend checking out Anthem: Anthem by Ayn Rand
