Atlas Shrugged March 10, 2010

This book will need to be read and re-read and should be required for every adult.
In a world that is so moved by "feelings" the author introduces some critical thinking
which will make a way for more objective thought about our world and especially
the economy. Two thumbs up! Glad my son recommended it to his old mom.
P.S. oh.....what a great story!

A fantasy for our time March 9, 2010

"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." from DKos

I am shrugging, too. March 7, 2010

Maybe Rand had something interesting to say. Maybe not. Who can tell? Either way, her trademark novel is so stilted, so drawn out, so hypnotically boring, so irrepressibly repetitive, you'll never make it to the end, I promise. The most laughable part of this novel is her obsession with the Gold standard. Heck, what is gold but a highly conductive non-corroding metal? What is so magical about gold that it might somehow prevent the global economy from crashing and burning due to greed and stupidity? Why not use some other commodity upon which to base a currency? Why not use sand? Why not develop the Sand Standard whereby people deal in tons of sand instead of ounces of gold? Or why not use titanium, or bismuth or pork bellies or dung? This gold thing is just one example of Rand's supposedly ultra-rational view of reality (Objectivism) that turns out, when sufficiently examined, to be little more than some sort of fetish of hers, some kind of personal bias cloaked in a mange of so-called perfect reasoning. It's silly at its best, boring at its worst.

Atlas Shrugged March 7, 2010

All the letters were in the proper order and there were no misspelled words. The words seemed to follow a pattern as if the author was trying to send a message of sorts to the reader. Uncanny I think. I will need to discuss this with other readers to see if we shared the same insights.

Made me think March 5, 2010

This book made me think almost more than any other book I have ever read. I'm really not sure what I can say about this thing that hasn't been said in the over 2000 reviews of it. I won't waste your time with a synopsis as there are many. I will only say this, I feel that anyone running for a political office where they are in a position to expand government should be required to read this book.
