It being a vehicle for selling it's philosophy is a good thing fags. Literally the best part.

John Galt's Speech

So how many of you losers would be put to death?

Can never get into pick related

You guys have any tips?

I just read John Galt's speech in atlas shrugged. Tell me how any of it could be wrong

I had 500 pages left of this and I read 50 yesterday, or 1 out of 10 chapters of the final section.

It has slowed down and become more repetitive and a bit boring but this is an important book. Why do we never see this point of view anywhere in modern media or the parts of the education system that are designed to indoctrinate people?

Does this count?

On page 127 of this. Pretty good so far. I like how Rand insults people who don't use specific language. No wonder all journalists and leftists hate her

I just read the first 44 pages of this. It's great so far, like the fountainhead. I can see why /lit/ dislikes it.

>the faggy misshapen characters, with their formlessness symbolising how shit they are
>the faggy characters asking the angular ones to consider public opinion and to follow mass trends unquestionably
>that faggy character who says an angular one has "neurosis"- even in 2018 amateur psychiatry is still a hobby of all leftards

This is just a straight up slap in the face to the types of people who browse /lit/ or "critique" things or take critical theory seriously or think Hegel transcends petty logic. In the fountainhead Ellsworth Toohey was the apotheosis of faggy lefty literary types but Rand still can't resist insulting you.

And the parts where charities or social programs are mentioned are like parodies of Rand. Metalworking programmes for slum children and a progressive charity promoting cooperative farming are mentioned with such disgust.

It's telling that on the very first page a beggar is described as having intelligent eyes and with no insults. Yet /lit/ and Reddit scream "But she loves money!!111" It is clear who Rand dislikes

What does /lit/ think of this book?

most of you hate it or love it. What do you thoughts on It?

So is this worth reading or not? Every time someone brings this book up people either say it's a masterpiece or the worst book ever made.
I'm also a lolbertardian so I don't mind the muh free market muh capitalism is good shit. However, I'm a subjective idealist and objectivism is the complete opposite of everything I believe.
>inb4 just read it
It's fucking long. I'd like to know if it's a good read at least.
