Atlas Shrugged
Get hold of Atlas Shrugged - by Ayn Rand
Editorial review:
(Amazon) 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. Atlas Shrugged made Rand not only one of the most popular novelists of the century, but one of its most influential thinkers.
Atlas Shrugged is 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 stretches the boundaries further than any book you have ever read. It is a mystery, not about the murder of a man's body, but about the murder--and rebirth--of man's spirit.
* Atlas Shrugged is the "second most influential book for Americans today" after the Bible, according to a joint survey conducted by the Library of Congress and the Book of the Month Club

I've just read The Fountainhead, also by Ayn Rand. It was stuck to my hand for the length of time it took to read. Since then I've read a couple of "philosophy" books by Rand, and an account of her love affair with and by Nathaniel Brand - after all of which I'd had enough and felt sickened by both of them. BUT, this book seems almost unknown in the UK, and provoked so much thought and 850+ reviews on Amazon. com !!! - "second handers" and the dangers of altruism. I'm off to buy Atlas Shrugged now.
