    Default Atlas Shrugged

    I just finished reading it. I read it while on plane flights in spurts over the last few months. I wish I had read it sooner in my life. It should be required reading for students. I'm surprised it hasn't been banned by the current regime. The parallels to our current strife are eerie. It hasn't made me see the world differently, just more clearly. Ayn Rand was a prophet.

    I remember watching the movie years ago. Probably need to read the book, as they usually tell a more complete story then film. The story is good reguardless.

    Those two are the top two.

    She's got some more, but those two are where I send people first.

    Many don't know that Howard Roark is Donald Trump's literary role model. Trump is a real fan of Rand's work..... it's interesting to note.

    That is my intention. Thanks for the recommendation.

    One big problem with reading on flights is reading for hours at a time makes me damn near blind and when I get to the airport, I can't read the signs to baggage claim, etc.
