Ayn Rand - Anthem, Atlas and such

[Spooky]

Almost done with Shrugged (will be by weeks end most likely). A must read IMO. It's long and can be a little slow at times, but the philosophy, themes and politics she explores are as relevant as they were in the 50's when she wrote it.

I think the story itself is intriguing (beyond the love triangle, or square, or something...). Industrialist who understand what the wold is coming to and decide they will have no part in it and decide to walk away and do their own thing. It also has bleeding heart socialists who "seem" to have good intentions, but prefer lead with their power greedy hearts rather than their minds.  Our heroine, Dagny Taggart, is one of the industrialists, but she, along with Hank Rearden, just can't give in and let the wold fail at the hands of the looters and moochers. They have to keep fighting the creeping death of socialism until they can't it fight anymore....
