I give kudos to anyone who actually finished reading, 'Atlas Shrugged', I couldn't read it past 100 pages, too much bullshit.

I shared this quote with my adult stepston and he took it to be drawing an equivalence between the two books. The snarky implications hold up either way, though.

Yes!

Surely we can add a few other impactful series, Harry Potter or even Jules Verne? These days I enjoy the movies more than the books, probably a sign of advancing age.

I have to admit I never heard of Atlas Shrugged when I was young, it completely passed me by, whereas an older friend did point me at the Lord of the Rings when i was 14.

An extra thumbs up because Rogers describes perfectly the future I faced after being traumatized by Atlas Shrugged. Fortunately I snapped out of if pretty quickly. And then rescued a friend from the clutches of Libertarianisn.

I read the original Gulliver's Travels when I was eight years old-WAY too young for such vicious juvenalian satire, and it soured my entire view of the human race. Now, for instance, whenever I observe boorish, sexual predator political leaders, I only see the Yahoos.

I already preferred the company of horses to most people.

I like the way you think. ?

LOL. I enjoyed both, but, of course, I read them as an adult as they weren't allowed in my parents' home.
