I have probably directed 100 people to read Atlas -- all say they are interested, but never had any come back to talk to me about it -- of course some people I mention it to are customers or clerks in stores. I first STARTED to read it when it first came out [I was 10 abd big on Greek Myths] my father was a big reader and he had bought a paperback. I saw it and started to read it thinking it was about Olympus! Stopped at about page 100 -- but got back to the whole thing when I was in U of Chicago Graduate School with Milton Friedman and others. My wife tried it, but gave up after maybe 50 pages, and constantly asked mt WHO IS JOHN GALT!
