Atlas Shrugged is the most amazing book that I've ever read. I've read it so many times that the books is literally falling apart. I own 2 copies of the hardcover version and have just purchased a new paperback.
Atlas Shrugged is the book that has affected my life the most. It can make me feel very angry or very happy, depending on what is happening in my life at the time I read it.
''I swear by my life and my love of it that I will never live for the sake of another man nor ask another man to live for mine'' is my life motto. I have a family and I work - but I do it for me. The sign of the dollar is a symbol of all that is good and all that can be accomplished.
I think one of the things that I liked most about this book is the fact that Dagny Taggart succeeds in a man's world doing a man's job .
John Galt's speech is powerful and the ''Original Sin'' part was what caught me most.
I recommend this book every time someone asks about the dollar sign hanging on my neck.
