I tried to read 'Atlas Shrugged' recently. I only got a few chapters in before I lost interest. But I am not really much of a novel reader.
Is it worth reading the Galt speech on its own? If so, where in the books is it (I'm not reading 1,100 pages to find it)?
- modoc 18y agoI've read the book a few times. I've always ended up skipping over the last half of the Galt speech, so the idea of skipping the rest of the book just to read that never ending speech seems funny to me.

- endtime 18y agoNo, it's not worth it, unless you specifically like reading very dry passages. I slogged through it but only out of a sense of commitment to reading the book in its entirety.
- systemtrigger 18y agoI loved the Galt speech but it has been a few years since I last read it so I don't recall how much lead-in it requires. Sometimes I listen to the audio version of Anthem Chapter 11, another powerful speech.
