how bout books in .mp3 ?

Good lord.

I think that John Galt's speech alone would take up two hours, wouldn't it?

I followed the philosophy, more or less, but Galt's speech just pissed me off mostly because of how long it was.  It also didn't help that it rehashed the Objectivist theme already touched on numerous times earlier in the book.

I'm about half-way through Atlas Shrugged at the moment, it's taken a good 4 months or so. My main problem with the book is it takes so damn long to tell the story. There will be 20-30 pages dedicated to a sub-plot that later turns out to have no significance to the overall story, 5 pages of two characters talking to each other that again is not important to the overall story. I haven't finished reading, though, so I'm hoping all the sub-plots will end up having some kind of significance further forward.

If you're halfway through, then you've already read Ayn's story twice, and if you finish it, you'll have read it four times.  I seldom quit reading a book before the end or leave a movie before it's over, but I bogged down and quit Atlas Shrugged in college about 3/4's of the way through. 

I finally re-read it and finished it decades later when I was commuting to San Francisco by ferry and running through reading material at a prodigious rate.  It was better that time because I needed something to pass the time, but that woman surely can write in circles.
