Atlas Shrugged

[/ QUOTE ]

Worst. Book. Ever.

[/ QUOTE ]

Clearly See Spot Run is more your speed then.

If you enjoy spending your time reading 1200 pages of unbelievable, undeveloped characters, far-fetched plot devices, and blatant self-promotion just to discover that capitalism is good and socialism is bad, then I can see how you'd love Atlas Shrugged. If, however, you are already aware of the truth in the (not at all) underlying moral, it's a monumental waste of time.

The only worthwhile reason I can think of to read the book is so you'll understand a few more jokes in The Illuminatus Trilogy. I'll gladly save the OP some time & just explain them when he gets to those parts.

If you're into modern fiction, I'm reading one right now called "Paranoia" by Joseph Fielder. I'm really into it. Some lazy kid embezzles some money for a party and they find out and they force him to be a spy at a rival company.

I just read that. Not bad at all for the genre. Good twist at the end.

If the OP is interested in non fiction, I heartedly recommend "Shadow Divers". I've re-read it a few times it was so good.

Default I second this one.

First book that popped into my head. Been at least 7 yrs since I read it.

Catch-22. Best book ever.

My favorite.

I'm reading Slaughterhouse Five based on the recommendations in this thread when it was done like last week, and I really really like it.
