After a while of abstinence, I'm getting back into reading.

Definitely finish it, and pick up a copy of Mein Kampf or The Art of War when you're done if you haven't read either of those yet.

Finish it.

This board is full of Marxist and neets who need handouts to survive. Theyll tell you to stop. They don't understand.

The fountainhead is good as well.

It gets better as you go. First 100 pages are the hardest.

IMO the ending feels rushed.

I'm starting to think that being an egoist is the only way to survive in this world. Should I read this?

Sure, if by "survival" you mean assimilating and conforming to the common social consensus of corporate capitalism, then... yeah.

This book is pretentious and embarrassing. The ending is long-winded and painful unlike what >>8591525 said. There is an over 60 page speech built into the book. Pick up basically anything else, even Infinite Jest is less pretentious.

Missing the point of the book so fucking hard.

>>8591405
Keep reading it and just finish it, at least reach a point where you really can't take it.

I blew through the first half then as I read on I realized I wasn't actually a libertarian just an 18 year old meme loving fuck. I quit after the first 5 pages of the speech at the end because I just couldn't handle it anymore. It's a bad book, I read The Fountainhead before Atlas and it was much better but still not great.

You know, most of us hate this book because of how pretentious and insufferable Ayn Rand is, not because of our own personal beliefs.

The book has very little literary merit, has awful prose, and is just about as insufferable as the author herself is. I'd recommend a John Green novel before this.
