Atlas Shrugged, by Ayn Rand
Now despite the many scrunched up faces I got while reading Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged, it was, by far, the best book I had ever read. This is a big deal. I absolutely loved it. It made me feel more in touch with my own sensibilties than a book has ever done before. There are times when people say "This book changed my life," and I've heard it said numerous times about Atlas; however, though it didn't change my life, it sure did change the focus of my life's appreciation. It hit me in a personal way when it comes to family relationships, giving, taking and what it means to those who are giving and taking. I lived a long time giving money I had to my family, working hard for my mother, and though it made me feel good, I realized after reading Atlas that I did it out of a sense of guilt: I felt bad for having money. Which also explained why I did not seek out a job that offered more.
The point is that I found this quote by Ayn Rand and that is why this post is on this page:

So get to it.

Glad you liked Atlas. I too got weird faces while reading it. "Anthem" is an interesting (and much quicker) read of her early work. See you in Atlantis! ;)
Ayn Rand sucks!
What the fuck kind of nam is AYN? you suck, bitch
What the fuck kind of name is AYN? You suck, bitch! You are a:
cunt licking, ass sucking, pubic hair tearing, ballbag fucker homo-phobic-cock-sucking-lesbianite, who doesn't even know the difference between cock, pussy, faggots and assholes, or W-Bush (the almighty nigger)and a real man; let alone write some bullshit wanna-be existentialistic novel about ANYTHING! I too got weird faces, as I sat up on the toilet reading this trash! It is great for constipation. The shit just slides out of your ass, and you can wipe the blood and shit off of your butt with the pages. Highly recommended for people with a bowel obstruction. I shit BLOOD I tell You!
