Have YOU Read It? ..... Really? .....

Yesterday, October 12, marked the 50th-anniversary of the publication of Ayn Rand’s novel "Atlas Shrugged." It sparked plenty of sales and controversy in its day ..... the controversy continues, unabated, half-a-century later. The sales are down since then ..... but they have remained steady. At more than 1,000 pages, it was Rand's biggest work of fiction ..... and definitive, answering once-and-for-all many of the questions raised by earlier works such as "We, the Living" and "The Fountainhead."

Me? I rather like "Atlas Shrugged" ..... I've actually gone through it twice, going back to it again many years, many experiences and many observations after the first reading.
