/lit/ - Literature

So, I just finished this, and like everyone else who read this, I will ask the most important question about this book to you, /lit/:

Was this an Andy Kaufman-esque prank, or was this a cleverly disguised critique of capitalism? Was Ayn Rand in actuality the greatest Marxist theoretician of the 20th century?

Is it worth it to finish Atlas Shrugged?

I’m on page 200 out of 1079 and am worried there might be better uses for my time.

Should I even bother with this or just skip to the next chapter? The last few hundred pages have just been Rand repeating herself over and over, I feel like there's nothing new she can say here.

I shouldn't have bothered reading this in the first place but I'm 1000 pages in and might as well see it to the end.

All memes aside, is this book worth reading once?
