Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand

Atlas Shrugged is one of the most phenomenal books in print. Written and published in a bygone era, it is amazing how the insights of the author, Ayn Rand, fit in today's highly charged political environment. It is the classic struggle between the achievers and the underachievers. Some may read the book and think that it is an argument for the haves and an indictment of the have nots, but it is not. When read objectively and with an open mind one will receive insight in how to achieve greatness and how the struggle to achieve requires sacrifice.

Great things are accomplished by men and women only when they pursue a passion and only when they have the ability and sometimes the stubbornness needed to overcome the road blocks that society inevitably puts in the way. Ayn Rand has captured in writing a timeless struggle that is both entertaining and educating! It's a great read and I recommend it to anyone who may be becoming discouraged with the current political discourse of our times and with the road blocks that government puts in the way of entrepreneurs.
