>Atlas Shrugged should be read the same way as Mein Kampf should be read. my thinking is pretty close. For me Atlas Shrugged is the processing of the Ayn Rand's own PTSD resulting from coming of age during Russian Revolution and the following civil war with the bolsheviks coming into full power as a result. Add to that the shock of immigration immediately after that into completely different country/society (and I see similar to Ayn Rand's thinking in many USSR/Russian immigrants, at least in their first 10-20 years here) And so it is boring like a psychologist patient's notes would be.
