Just finished Atlas Shrugged

[Surfah]

This is one that sat on the shelf for awhile and had always meant to read it. I finished it in a week and yes, I read through Jon Galt's entire speech.

Halfway through it I was really into it. But Rand's incessant pounding of morality and philosophy soured me through out the rest.

If someone asked me about Atlas Shrugged, I'd probably shrug and say, "eh."

I bought this in the airport before a three week business trip to Taiwain. It was interesting to evaluate it against my observations of both American-style capitalism and Chinese-style capitalism.

I skipped the speech at the end, thereby enjoying the book a little bit more than I otherwise would have :-)
