When i was 17 and read it for the first time, i was just overwhelmed. I don't many things i don't like about her world view,. But more could she write a story i would put but i think atlas shrugged, in particular, It was highly prophetic, and it's become underrated as sociology. Like her cocktail party scems her account of what we now call 'the woke' She so nails it better than any critic writing to day. Have you read it la shrugged? I read it when i was 14. Couldn't re read it. Even at 14...couldn't do it. The longest book i've probably read is gulak archipelago
