Re: Atlas Shrugged

I read it about 30 years ago. I need to re-read it to really say what the message was, aside from the obvious.

I'd wager you could check it out from the library for free.

Re: Atlas Shrugged

The book's a classic. A movie has to cater to the tea party wingnuts, and be bankrolled by the Koch brothers .

Re: Atlas Shrugged

Atlas Shrugged was an easy read thirty years ago. Yes, it is simplistic and a bit hokey but the message is simple, poignant and timeless. And true. Look around; it is happening.
