Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. WOW. This is such an incredible book, and I'm only a third of the way through. It's a very long book, but I just want to keep reading it. And it parallels today's society so very much - it's amazing. I want to type some of the better parts of the book, but I feel like it would lessen the impact once you get to it, should you ever decide to undertake this particularly rewarding literary journey. I don't want to give anything away, so I guess I'll wrap this up with one word...WOW.
Edit: Just found out they're in production for the movie, supposedly starring Angelina Jolie. I know it's a very pertainant film in today's american society, but how the writer/director will be able to cram the substance of ~1200 pages of story into a 2 hour movie is beyond me. The screenplay is written by the same gentleman (Randall Wallace) who wrote Braveheart, Pearl Harbor and We Were Soldiers, so it stands a decent chance.
