The Place Where Ludington Talks

Atlas Shrugged

who here has read it and what did you think of it up to the halfway point (where hank and dagny find the motor)?

without more time I can't put together a good synopsis, but, I love it so far and definitely love hank and dagny and how they value a persons work and ability to create ..as as opposed to the social welfare model of orren boyel and james taggart(and the washington players)-same as today perhaps?.

I need to score a copy one of these days. Where did you wrangle yours?

Barnes & Noble in Muskegon. I usually don't buy books as I read way to fast to make it economical but being a classic I figured this was on worth having.

It should be available at the Library(I know they have the fountainhead) and if they don't have it I know they can transfer it from another library through inter-library loan, or if it is one that they had but was lost they will order a new copy.

Unfortunately, the only time I 'read' it, I had the Cliff Notes version and have read a few excerpts. I don't think the Cliff notes was as good as the real book from the excerpts I have presented here before. I presume we will see an avatar change for Dagny soon.
