I forced my way through Atlas Shrugged a few years back waiting for the characters to become human beings, thinking that for sure they would change. They didn't. It's just a bunch of self-centered bullshit. That's on top of being poorly written and thought out.
I wonder how many people that tout this as their most influencial book (it's one of the best selling books of all time) would still feel justified in the moral superiority of their selfishness if they knew that the concepts were derived from a sociopath that dismembered a 12 year old girl.
the original and best
not having read the book (but hey i played bioshock) - isn't that the whole point?
(also, what the fuck is "the exiled"? from here it looks like a liberal tampon.)
the only lesson to be learned here is that the bigger an asshole you are, the more chicks will love you. women LOOOVE serial killers.

Worse sins huh? Yeah, I chop up little kids for ransom and mail the parts back to their parents every Tuesday.

No, that's the point of Bioshock, which is the anti-Atlas Shrugged.

Someday I ought to read Atlus Shrugged, but every time I read anything about Ayn Rand it annoys the living hell out of me. It seems like she's got a lot of good ideas warped by her own personal brand of crazy.

I don't think they were good ideas at all. A spoiled, stunted Nietzche chewed up and spat out as bad fiction.
What does that even mean?

I started to read The Fountainhead once and got halfway down the first page before throwing it across the room and never picking it up again.
