Atlas Shrugged
The astounding story of a man who said that he would stop the motor of the world - and did.
Tremendous in scope, breathtaking in its suspense, "Atlas Shrugged" is unlike any other book you have ever read. It is a mystery story, not about the murder of a man's body, but about the murder - and rebirth - of man's spirit.
With this acclaimed work and its immortal query "Who is John Galt?" Ayn Rand found the perfect artistic form to express her vision of existence. This is the book that made her not only one of the most popular novelists of our century, but also one of its most influential thinkers.

While this book is long and drawn out as well as boring at times. I enjoyed it because it talks about the importance of ones mind and that it is important to understand that one can't let their mind go to waste. We must also understand that ideas and our contributions to society are without reason to fall to others persuasion. This book for me was a challenge in itself and that I wanted to challenge my self in reading a novel that was thought provoking and interesting. While some people might not totally agree with Ayn Rand's ideology in this book one has to consider why its important to never let others control you or your mind for their own purposes. This is what i have gotten out of this novel and I am happy to have taken the time to have read it.
