      I’ve bought that crap after the BBC promoted it with a dedicated article many years ago… It’s such a boring and average book … I felt scammed.

      A former boss told me it was his favourite book. He didn’t like it when I laughed at him because I thought he was joking.

      The Fountainhead was actually an interesting enough story even if you don’t agree with the message Rand conveyed.

      Atlas shrugged is just… Verbose. Has a plot but my god, the pages upon pages of monologue was too much.

      But in the end neither are required reading (and I know you weren’t suggesting as such.)
