"who is John Galt"

Anybody else like Ayn Rand ? I am reading "Atlas shrugged right now,very intresting.

Very much so, but I've learned to be very guarded about it. The ideas expressed in her writings will evoke unbelievable rage in the people that disagree with it. You'll also find that most of the people that are the most vocally enthusiastic about it just miss the point entirely and are often straight up flippin' nuts and rather "cultish". Those that do get it rarely talk about it. Most of the people here would find that it speaks them directly and like it-a lot-otherwise I would not even comment on this thread.

Atlas Shrugged is over 1000 pages, and should really be read after The Fountainhead. Anyone that's curious about it should read "Anthem" first. It's a short, easy read that speaks directly to the core idea. It's a perfect litmus test. After reading that book people will either embrace it or throw it down in horror and disgust.
