Product Description
At last, Ayn Rand's masterpiece is available to her millions of loyal readers in trade paperback.
With this acclaimed work and its immortal query, "Who is John Galt?", Ayn Rand found the perfect artistic form to express her vision of existence. Atlas Shrugged made Rand not only one of the most popular novelists of the century, but one of its most influential thinkers.
Atlas Shrugged is the astounding story of a man who said that he would stop the motor of the world--and did. Tremendous in scope, breathtaking in its suspense, Atlas Shrugged stretches the boundaries further than any book you have ever read. It is a mystery, not about the murder of a man's body, but about the murder--and rebirth--of man's spirit.
* Atlas Shrugged is the "second most influential book for Americans today" after the Bible, according to a joint survey conducted by the Library of Congress and the Book of the Month Club

 1000+ pages of death by redundant bludgeoning September 9, 2010

STOP! This is a novel with a bad plot, bad writing, horrible dialogue/monologue, and the hero gets the girl (who just happens to Rand's written self-portrait. I've seen better conceived soap-operas. Her heroes are stereotypes of how she saw herself and her loves . . . Greek gods and goddesses, perfect in thought, beyond intelligent, and a market capatilist's dream. Her antagonists are caricatures of inept, small-minded, lazy, and physically unattractive. This is a comic universe with poorly drawn comics. She should've let Marvel run with this story. I give her 2-stars because I'll give her credit for using a novel to give voice to her philosophy. Her philosophy, though, is misguided as it's a reaction to communism and her poor concept of Christianity. She also uses her philosophy as a blunt instrument. She bludgeons the reader with it, hitting the reader over-and-over-and-over. 60 pages for one monologue?? And then to claim she lived her life entirely by her philosophy is beyond arrogant. Read a bio on her and you'll realize she didn't even come close to living by her own philosophy.

Everyone should read this book. Although written in the 1950's, it seems to have returned from the future with a cautionary tale.
Best Fiction Read September 6, 2010
William Of Waterford (Waterford)
This book is one that you will not want to put down. After nearly forty years of marriage my wife and I have finally something to fight about, who get's to read the book and when.It's super reading and if you think about it when reading you may see some of the same conditions today.Can't recommend highly enough. It's a must read.
Best book I ever read September 6, 2010

I received this book as a gift, which is interesting given the core premise of the book. It was a gift that will now influence how I think and act. Rand's philosophy screams to be heard in today's world.
