I know. I read Atlas Shrugged back when I was a libertarian retard and I still gave up halfway through. As many times as the political/economic/social rants had me cheering (back then at least) I just couldn't get past all of the boring god awful crap. Seriously, a whole chapter about a train ride? I know that it's a metaphor for giving birth or whatever, but it's a ****ing boring metaphor about giving birth or whatever. I quit somewhere around when they were searching for some super engine. An engine. Here's a clue Ms. Rand. No one gives a **** about some engine. Stick to nonfiction or go kick rocks. I know she's dead, but if she can here me in hell then I will be satisfied.
