I'm a huge fan of Ayn Rand politically, but my god she needed an editor desperately. I also think she would have been more effective writing political philosophy than fiction.
I think everyone with a libertarian viewpoint needs to read "Atlas Shrugged" but it's definitely a litmus test to see how devoted you are to your political views. I didn't get through it the first time. Took me about 2 years to finish the book and I read two or three other books in the interim.
It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.
Chuck, we miss ya man.
