Book Title: Atlas Shrugged
Author: Ayn Rand
Selection Statement:
This book has shaped my life in so many ways and completely changed the way I view the world. It has articulated so many rough ideas and thoughts I have had over many years. I agree with Murray Rothbard’s assessment that this is the best book ever written, fiction or nonfiction, and would go further to say it is likely one of the most important books ever written. Never be afraid to ask yourself who needs whom, especially when they make it seem it is opposite. I did, and I left Penn State.
