Moonlight Reader's 30 Day Challenge: Day 08

Atlas Shrugged - Leonard Peikoff, Ayn Rand

Day 08: A book that is overrated.

 

Atlas Shrugged, because Ayn Rand can't write worth shit, her main character is a total Mary Sue, and the entire premise of the novel is ridiculous. Pseudo-intellectual claptrap.

 

“Two novels can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other involves orcs.”  [Source unknown].
