   Nice to see someone not sneering at Atlas Shrugged.   
   I enjoyed the movies too, even though they were   
   pitifully poor representations of the great book.  At the   
   end of 2010 and beginning of 2011, I read The Lord of   
   the Rings immediately followed by Atlas Shrugged,   
   both for the third straight-through reading, though certain   
   parts of each have been read multiple times in addition.
