Sales of "Atlas Shrugged" Soar

"Atlas Shrugged" is a classic from the late 1950s by Ayn Rand (Alan Greenspan was of protege of Rand). Sales of this book have tripled this year due to, what is assumed to be, the similarities between the plot-line and events of our day.

I've had a copy for years and finally started my read a couple of months ago. It is a substantial book (over 1000 pages in paperback), but I hear too many positive reviews to not jump in. I hope to finish it before the US economy recovers.

Atlas Shrugged was required reading in our household. My mother gave me a copy of my own on my 21st birthday. I suspect it's time to read again.
