No, I don't think we're done with the downturn. I finally finished Atlas Shrugged
two nights ago. I'm proud to say that I read every word...all 1200 pages!
It certainly was a long book and at times was tedious. The final speech by Galt was a bit hard to get through, not because it was boring but because it was important, deep and very long. 70 pages long! One speech!
Still, while reading it I found some eerie parallels to modern day politics and the state of the country. I just hope we don't go down the full path they took in the book. That's a lot more pain than anyone needs.
On to more lite fair. I've started reading The Postman
which, yes, is what the movie is based on. Supposedly the book is better although I'm already a fan of the movie. Time will tell.
