Re: tkt8763-01: Atlas Shrugged

[cdscales <cdscales@network-one.com>]

I have read The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand, and I have heard about
Atlas Shrugged but not actually read it.  I also know that
her books basically express her moral and economic philosophy.  It's
great that so many people find her novel to be that noteworthy.  I
read somewhere that many critics don't consider her books to be works of
literary excellence which is extremely strange to me.  I loved reading
The Fountainhead and so did many of my students who read the book
and later did a research report on her life and a literary analysis of
the novel.  I look forward to reading Atlas Shrugged.

Who among you has read the book, "Atlas Shrugged" by Ayn Rand?

I am told that when 500 of the top, most successful leaders of our society
over the past few decades were asked, "If you could have only one book in
your personal library, what book would that be?" the one book that was
common to all of them was "Atlas Shrugged."

I find that interesting.  I own a copy of both "Atlas Shrugged" and "The
Fountainhead" and have been wondering this morning how many of you have
read her work.
