lorean Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 Word up. I read Atlas a few weeks ago, very good book. Went out and got a few more Objectivist books and am liking what I see. So, hello everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chops Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 (edited) How long did it take you? Took me 18 months (not that I found it drudgery, it was, and remains, my favorite book of all time). Edited April 14, 2008 by Chops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took me 18 months (not that I found it drudgery, it was, and remains, my favorite book of all time). Atlas took roughly a week, the five or six other books I've read took about 2 or 3 weeks more.

K-Mac Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 (edited) Welcome to the forum! I finished AS about a year ago and my life has changed for the better in so many ways since. I hope you find Rand's philosophy is as important to your life as it is to mine. Edited April 14, 2008 by K-Mac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's pretty voracious, so say the least. Which other books of hers have you read? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorean Posted April 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 That's pretty voracious, so say the least. Which other books of hers have you read? The Fountainhead, Anthem, For the New Intellectual, Philosophy: Who Needs It?, Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal. About her I've read her Journals and The Ayn Rand Cult. I want to read We the Living as I heard its her best book and I'd like to read some of Peikoff, his summary of her philosophy mainly.

Thales Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 Word up. I had Word up, but right now I have Wordpad going. I read Atlas a few weeks ago, very good book. Went out and got a few more Objectivist books and am liking what I see. So, hello everyone. Hello Lorean. Happy that you like Ayn Rand's works. Looks like you've read quite a bit. I would say that Atlas Shrugged is her best book, because it takes on such a broad, sweeping subject. I know Ayn Rand would have said that. Her second best would be The Fountainhead.
