Did you like this book?
Well it had a lot to do with trains, and my family was once in the railroad business, so I identified with it to some degree. I enjoyed the book and took it as a "cautionary tale" of what might happen if we move too far from capitalism into socialism. It's a big book with a lot going on, and it kept me reading to see how it would all end!
Yep. I also enjoyed it and have read some pieces from the diaries of Ayn Rand. She wrote, that in the book her phylosophy is described. And she followed it in her daily life, but I was told she finished her days in a kind of sect made from her followers.
So this book is quite questionable on the other side.
