Atlas Shrugged was a great book. I've read it 3 times and will again  
at some point.

If you haven't read it, you should. Written in 1957, but so  
appropriate today.

Wikipedia said:
Atlas Shrugged is a novel by Ayn Rand, first published in 1957 in the  
United States. It was Rand's last work of fiction before concentrating  
her writings exclusively on philosophy, politics and cultural  
criticism. At over one thousand pages in length, she considered it her  
magnum opus.[1] Also, at approximately 645,000 words, Atlas Shrugged  
is one of the longest novels ever written in any European language.  
The book explores a number of philosophical themes that Rand would  
subsequently develop into the philosophy of Objectivism. According to  
a 1991 United States survey by the Library of Congress and the Book of  
the Month Club, Atlas Shrugged was voted the most influential book in  
readers' lives after the Bible.
