Atlas Shrugged

I'm in the middle (76% through exactly) of Atlas Shrugged. I like The Fountainhead more, but as for this second reading of Atlas Shrugged, I'm beginning to think it's just as much my favorite as the other. However, in both cases, it's a long hard slog. I like reading an epic a year. At least one. A book that is long, sweeping, somewhat historic, and grand. Last year I read Shogun. The year before that I read the entire Song of Ice and Fire Series. Four books, all fantasy. I'll say this, Rand makes it tough to keep going. The worst part about it is, instead of feeling like your about to summit a peak, I feel as though I'm about to summit a plateau. That I'm near the top, but once I get there I probably will go right on past and not notice it till I'm past. Oh well, it's a fun climb, just lot of the same scenery.
