I was sixteen when I read Atlas and was taken by it as a sixteen year old might be. It took me about ten years to be embarrassed that I had liked it. And I continue to be amazed/confused that mature adults claim it as a formative book they re-read often.

I am reading this book at the moment!

I knew nothing about it but was intrigued by the title (gotta hand it to em, itтАЩs a good title)

Safe to say I was not prepared for the thinly veiled philosophy shouting.

IтАЩm going to finish it because sometimes reading things that you disagree with helps you learn. About yourself, what you believe, and why you believe it.

Well, update. I finished it!

And I have thoughts haha. I wonder if you felt the same way, or completely different!
