Ye of little faith. Thanks Adam.  >:(



Thank you everyone for the replies to this thread. I will be putting a few more finishing touches on the first few chapters in the net day or two and then I'll get them out to some of you.  [thumbsup]

Atlas Shrugged is a great read.   [thumbsup]

Took me a while to get into it, but glad I did. 

The Fountain Head was much easier to read/understand. 
Love to read... Ayn was  [thumbsup]

I know. One of my favs. A lot easier bc it doesn't have a 60 FREAKING PAGE LONG speech saying the same shit that you're led to understand in the first 800 pages.

But Ayn Rand is the shit  [thumbsup]

I'm a big fan of Ayn Rand too.  Did you know that they made a movie about her?  I saw it when I was flipping around the other day.  She's played by Helen Mirren.

I'm a big fan of Chuck Palahniuk and Margaret George writes great historical fiction.  I'm going to pick up Mission: Black List #1 by Eric Maddox on my way home.  He's the SSgt and military interrogator who was responsible for the capture of Saddam Hussein, his book sounds very interesting!

Atlas Shrugged is definitely my favorite book so far, Fountainhead is top 5.  I will not say how long it took me to read Atlas Shrugged though.  I'll just say it was a little bit longer than 22 hours [bow_down]

1984 is another favorite, I've read that one a few times.

I am an avid reader and my tastes are all over, from "junk food for the brain" to political and historical or scientific.  Pretty much the only thing I don't read are romance novels.  It usually takes me 3-6 hours to get through a popular fiction novel (Koontz, Baldacchi, Cornwell type novels) but longer for biographies, etc.  This week I've read the 2 latest Stephen King novels, something stupid by Dean Koontz, and Boots on the Ground by Dusk, by Pat Tillman's mom. 

I'd love to read your first couple chapters.
