I didn't have the mental "necessities" to keep track of all the characters.

I wouldn't attribute it to your mental "necessities." It's probably Rand's poor development of characters, which are hardly memorable.

I read it in 1965. The only bits of the story that I remember are the incredibly dumb sex scene, that they went to some special place in the Colorado mountains, and that in the end she left her loyal assistant to who knows what fate because he wasn't a member of the Atlas class.

I could not identify with the looters that robbed from the poor to give to the rich.

Don't remember any looters. Seems to me that the story was the converse, that lumpenproletariat was sapping the creativity and entrepreneurship of the Atlases.

I'm reluctant to read it again. I'm too likely to be disappointed. Or bored.
