I read Ayn Rand's book, Atlas Shrugged. At first I could not get into it so I put it down and picked it back up a year later. That time I could not put it down.
Even though Ayn is an atheist, I appreciate her literary talents. I thought that the book was brilliantly written, especially back in the day.

Our public school system does not teach literary skills like this anymore. In fact, I saw a copy of an eighth grade final exam from back in the early 1900s and it is equal in educational standards to todays college exams.
