>Atlas Shrugged is an important work.
>she presents many ideas and concepts in Atlas Shrugged which are so important to society
Like what?
>Communism is bad
Well known at the time and much better explained in actual philosophy and well-writen literature
>Altruism is bad
She was wrong
>Only a handful of people keep the world running
Nope, she was wrong again
.
we could go on, but she was correct about 1 thing and thousands of others wrote about it coherently.

You know, I actually thought this was okay - I enjoyed Roark's interactions with his rival, I don't disagree with individualism and I can see how someone might see the world as Rand does - until I got to the court room scene. Not only does she have her main character spell out the entire point of the book, she then rewards her character for doing so. I found it unnecessary and almost underhanded, as if I would someone agree with Roark if the characters in her world did.
Garbage prose, mostly garbage characters, and a half baked ideology that could have been summed up in ten pages. Would not recommend reading.
I think you mean a self-described pseudo-philosopher cunt with an agenda the size of her ego. She named her philosophy "objectivism".
Do you two have actual objections against the book? Or do you two savants get your jollies off by juding a book by its author, but not actually having an actual opinon of the book because said savants have not actually read the book.
I read about half before literally throwing it in the bin. Poorly written and every point was completely transparent. She was obviously her own biggest fan
Poorly written in what aspect? I may agree with you here, depending on how you respond.
Holy shit die
