I began reading Atlas Shrugged about 20 years ago. I found it not only boring, but also pretentious, pompous, and not particularly well written. I concluded this after having read about 20+ pages, after which I threw it in the garbage can. I have never done this with any other book before or since.

Chaz,

I guess Ayn Rand's boring novels are still in print because people are still buying and reading them. That IS pretty funny for such pretentious garbage written over a half century ago.

BTW, before talking about her family's posh Russian residence, I suggest you read Barbara Branden's biography of Ayn Rand. It's a great read, whether or not you agree with her philosophy.

Regards, JB
