---"It took me all summer, but I finally finished Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. All 1070 pages of it. It's the longest book I have ever read..edging out Moby Dick by a good 320 pages. It is also the second best book I have ever read (The first still being Gullivers Travels)."

It does have its problems to be sure, but I have never read a book so full

When younger sisters are having babies, you're officially old. *Sigh*

However, it's funny you mentioned "Atlus Shrugged" - it was the inspiration for the video game Bioshock, and has stirred up some interesting conversation amongst co-workers. Not because of the book itself, but because the book's effect on it's readers.

Essentially, a co-worker told me that he 'lost one of his friend's' to the book, as they were apparently a completely different character after reading it. They said the same thing happened to his younger brother; a personality change that was unexpected and apparently ruined the friendship.

Perhaps your research on the other people you know who read it should continue - why do only 2 of it own it? Did they notice a change in their environment or how others perceived them?

Would be interesting.

Because, probably less than 2 out of 7 actually read seriously
