Atlas Shrugged

Last summer I read "The Fountainhead" and "We the Living" by Ayn Rand. I have started reading "Atlas Shrugged" this summer but due to classes, work, and general time wasting I'm not as far along as I would have been if I had read at the pace I read last summer. Oh well. In regards to the "Who is John Galt?" question, Ayn Rand may or may not have finally given us a little crumb of information. Was he really a rich man who found the city of Atlantis, the city of heroes? I don't know yet. Please if you've read the book, don't spoil it for me. Don't tell me what happens, I like to find things out for myself because that's the fun of it. The unanswerable question. I love it!
Unfortunately I don't have the time to write a dissertation on my opinions on Objectivism. I might do that later.
