    Reading Atlas Shrugged is more like a hazing ritual conservatives inflict on each other.

      I look back and my parents let me read this in high school without comment…like wtf mom and dad.

        It’s an intelligence test. Either smart enough to smell the bullshit, or you need to be tutored on critical thinking.

      I dunno, when I was in high school there were a number of Ayn Rand essay contests with prize money.

      I won’t say they’re good books but I did make good money from reading them.
