RE: Books that inspired me #1: "Atlas Shrugged" by Ayn Rand
I'm halfway through Atlas Shrugged right now and have read Rand's Introduction to Objectivist Epistemology; The Virtue of Selfishness; and, Philosophy: Who Needs It. Her work has already changed my life as well.
I wrote an Objectivist-inspired post earlier today about non-contradiction which you may find interesting.
Thanks for sharing; your post was a good read and novel perspective given your upbringing in East Germany. Upvoted!
It took me a long time to read Atlas Shrugged. Several times I wanted to give up. The struggle to finish it connected me with the struggle of the main characters. :-)
I liked The Virtue of Selfishness as well, but because I seem to be naturally greedy, it did not gave me so much inspiration like Atlas Shrugged. But everybody seem to find different things in this books - according to his special place in the world.
I don't blame you, the book weighs like four pounds haha! I'm finding the middle to be a little repetitious but can't wait to finish.
Thanks again for the great post!
You're welcome!
