That's the question that's being posted these days all over the 'net from those quoting Ayn Rand and comparing the current time to the plot of her famous novel, Atlas Shrugged.
I never cared for the book all that much, but I read it years and years ago before I became interested in politics, so perhaps I should try reading it again.
That said, I still don't care who is John Galt. I'd rather know who Alvin Tostig was.
I re-read it recently and it was still a tough read for me.
ReplyDeleteI found it tedious and said so in a political forum. I was savaged for not having any sort of literary sense and one doofus left me a one sentence reply:
ReplyDelete"Pearls before swine."
That's ok, that old adage has been leveled at me before. I replied, as I always do:
"Stick it in your ear...or silk purse, either way."
