Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlas_ShruggedAtlas Shrugged is a novel by Ayn Rand, first published in 1957 in the United States. It was Rand's fourth, longest, and last novel. Afterward, she completed only non-fiction works, concentrating on philosophy, politics, and cultural criticism. At over one thousand pages in length, she considered Atlas Shrugged to be her magnum opus.[1] The book explores a number of philosophical themes that Rand would subsequently develop into the philosophy of Objectivism.[2][3] It centers on the decline of Western civilization, and Rand described it as demonstrating the theme of "the role of man's mind in existence." In doing so it expresses many facets of Rand's philosophy, such as the advocacy of reason, individualism, and the market economy. As indicated by its original working title The Strike, the plot device is a general strike by elements of the intellectual and entrepreneurial class led by the protagonist John Galt. ------------ I find it that it will be a good read for me.

I read that once, but I need to read it again.
