I first read Ayn Rand's classic when I was 20 years
old. It had a life-altering effect on me. It made me stop doing what I
was doing (which wasn't much at the time) and go to work. I reread the
book when I turned 40 because I was curious to see if it would still
have the same power over me that it had over me in my youth. It didn't,
and I found that to be so curious. It caused me to think a lot about
how I had spent those 20 years - the experiences I had along the way
and what I had learned about life. I plan to read Atlas Shrugged again
when I'm 60. I want to see what it does to me then. Perspective is a
gift that comes with age - if you allow it to. This is a book that
everyone should read at least once in their life. And more than once if
you have the patience and the curiousity.
