Atlas Shrugged

[Pellaz]

call me when there's a film version of Anthem , err, Rush's 2112.

For the "book," it could be done in about ten minutes. That is one short little tome.


I remember about a year ago Borders (or maybe Barnes & Noble) had a full wall display of just Atlas Shrugged. Mass-market paperbacks, trade paperbacks, the works. Oddly, no other books by Rand, no Fountainhead, no Anthem, just AS. It was a bit surprising to see and no doubt one of the reasons why it sold 500,000 copies last year, current newsworthiness notwithstanding.

kind of strange. I guess it's like a 'Dark Side of the Moon' of the classic lit field. Or something. Me, I find 'Fountainhead' to be the best one, my opinion might change, but thusfar it has not. Bizarro sexual philosophies/fantasies and all.....yep. Flawed classic. I think maybe AS was just more of a right place/right time thing, but not that a lot of readers got the full span of ideas presented there or anything. In a lot of ways, it's really the same book as the last one.
