Seconded. Atlas Shrugged has a hell of a lot to teach people, young individuals in particular. Frankly, I liked the Atlas Shrugged dicks more than I liked the emo dicks at 16. The guys that read Atlas Shrugged avoided a lot of the existentialist angst, and some of them went on to do some cool things with their time. That's worth the many people who get obnoxious after reading it.
