Atlas Shrugged is rocketing up Amazon’s best seller list. It has gone from #94 to #35 in the last four days!
I expect it to reach Top 20 in a couple of days and could even reach Top 10!

Since the first three books on the Amazon bestseller list are non-fiction, this makes Atlas Shrugged the number ONE bestselling novel on Amazon as of now.
Since last night it’s been #4.
I just saw the movie, and while it was better than I expected, I would suggest that Shrikant’s insightful view that the movie is a Roman copy of the Greek original is not completely accurate. I would call the movie to be an analogue of a 19th century American neo-classical sculptural copy of a Roman copy of a Greek original. It’s main failing is that it is not really done in a Romantic style. It is too imbued with naturalistic modern touches. But still, I was pleasantly surprised how much they did accomplish.
