The first time I read "Atlas Shrugged" I nearly gave up...

Posted by Mel Profit (aka Mel Profit) Jan 9 '09, 14:55

I was really frustrated reading a hundred pages or so and then have the story shift radically to something completely new (and having it happen twice...I think) that seemingly had no relation to what I had just read and invested so much time in.

I almost gave up. But I sensed one of the ideas of the book was about overcoming adversity so I kept up with it.

I was rewarded. But that's just me...

I *did* give up. Glad I got through it on the second try, years later. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jan 9, 14:56 3
