Atlas Shrugged Trilogy

A couple of weeks ago I ordered the Trilogy and it arrived today.
It's a 4 disk set with three for the movie and one for the extra features.
It's pretty killder just watching the movie, but the extra features are kick *. Ted Cruz is on there plus a lot of thought provoking comparisons between Ayn Rands' novel (written over fifty years ago) and what is happening in America right now.
If you've read the over 1100 page book, fine, but if you haven't, the movie does a fair job of putting the setting in contemporary terms.
It was only $25 and here's the site.

BTW; You don't have to be a deep thinker to get the message (but it helps).[:D]

I meant to go see it when it was in the theaters, I have tried many times to read the books, her writing is so incredibly soporific I can barely get a chapter in without falling asleep.
Keep trying. When you finish it, you'll feel the same as when you finish Dr. Zhivago or War and Peace. You'll never forget it.
Someday will revisit Atlas Shrugged and Anthem.

Falling asleep is better accomplished by reading THE ROAD TO SERFDOM. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Road_to_Serfdom
Ayn Rand in her younger years,, copied this photo from her website. Must be from the 1930's.
Try the PDF, and Android and text to speech. Good for a long drive or when work gets mundane and boring.
Fountainhead was probably better easier reading.
Love the part where the guy figures out how to extract oil from shales.
She had some great quotes. Fountainhead describes the mentality of the New York liberal. Still the same today.
Listened to 4 of her books while working. Best stuff. Count of Monte Cristo was a letdown after Ayn Rand.
I just found this, enjoy.
