This is class, guys. Rand's pursuit of better and refusal to heel to crap, stifling conditions is inspiring. I also never realised that she had left her family behind.
I remember reading 'Atlas Shrugged' in college at the insistence of an attractive young woman. At the time I knew enough about the history of railroading in America to realize Rand's understanding of capitalism was about as deep as Horatio Alger's. I have to admit that I have probably heard of more people citing it as their favorite or most influential book than of any other, but in most such cases it seems to have been the only book they ever read. I invariably feel sorry for such people; they seem to know nothing of real literature or real life. They live in a dream world. Unfortunately, a lot of them seem to be running the real world.
Loved reading more about my favorite author’s life. Thank you.
Just waiting for the modern day John Galt to make himself known.
Thank you for reading, Josephine!
