Read the first sentence and the last sentence and interpolate. You will get the whole novel.
@professorkiosk @geekysteven “There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs."

MY COMMENT
I read and listened to Atlas Shrugged a few years ago. I was in a hammock in Cape Cod.
Here is my unpopular take on it....
I loved every line of that book. Great story. Glad I got through that slog of a story.
Now I am old, retired & have plenty of common sense. The book preaches every concept opposed to the teachings of Jesus Christ. The theory is a big pile of MAGA poop.
Government is not evil.

Want to know a secret? I’ve never read it. I read Anthem. Couldn’t finish more than half of the Fountainhead. Read a few of her “philosophical” essays. And now that I’m older and have studied philosophy extensively I can say she’s fairly naive when it comes to philosophy and incredibly doctrinaire
MY COMMENT
Ayn Rand has one product.
She is selling...

It appeals to certain people... The Deplorables..
