If you're a logical/rational person, and you have ambition, passion, drive, and you value the individual - then this book is for you. If you're a socialist/communist/etc., you will hate this book ... or it will change your mind.

In a nationwide study back in the 90s, this novel was ranked second as "most influential novel of all time." The first was the Bible - so ironic, considering the nature of Atlas Shrugged. Or maybe so apt.

I think this book is a must read. It changed my life.
