Atlas Shrugged

The people who are funding my summer fellowship insist that I read Ayn
Rand's 'Atlas Shrugged' and attend a discussion group on it. I was
expecting the book to be total trash, but it isn't. It is, mostly, a
well-written story. The characters are cardboard stereotypes, of
course, but the stereotypes are ones that I have not seen before, so
that keeps it interesting. However, I am only about one-sixth of the
way through and it is already starting to get a bit tiresome and
repetitive.
