Atlas Shrugged
I'm reading it now. I keep hearing about what an important book this is, but I'm really struggling to get through it. Anyone else read it? Please tell me it gets better.

Re: Atlas Shrugged
I'm sorry to burst your bubble!
About 10 years ago, I struggled through it too. I was bleary-eyed and miserable reading it, but kept thinking that I "needed" to read it. I couldn't wait for it to be over.
I will say that the last 200-300 pages were good, but I really could have done without it.

You are definitely not bursting my bubble, I feel the same way that I "need" to read it. I have it on my kindle, I have been reading it for WEEKS and I'm only about 20% through. I may just have to resign and put it down, because I'm not enjoying it at all.

You're lucky it's on your kindle. I read it before kindles and lugged a 5 lb paperback that I hated around for weeks!

Re: Atlas Shrugged
I had a boyfriend in college who was a HUGE Ayn Rand fan/follower
He urged me to read The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged, and because he was so into it and i wanted to know what he was all excited about, i read both books.
They were hard to read, i'll say that.
Interesting books, but definitely difficult to read if you don't follow her philosophy IMO

Re: Atlas Shrugged
That was the ONE AND ONLY book in college lit courses ( and I took at lost as an English major) that I read 1 chapter and falt out refused to read the rest.
Can't recall how I did a paper on it and passed though but I could care less if I failed. It was horrible!
