Have just put the first chapter review of Atlas Shrugged up, last night/this morning. The journal, which I am in too much of a hurry to link, is Earthling_Rants at Dreamwidth. It occurred to me too late that I should provide more of a synopsis, so the next review will be better on that front.
As per the next chapter: Hank Rearden is like what would happen if an xkcd character got possessed by Ayn Rand's author wraith. He's your classic nerd from various comics, loves his work and doesn't understand why it doesn't matter to anyone else, but then he's got the Ayn Rand issues that don't correspond to ANY OF THAT. Seriously, those two halves of his character just don't match. And his brother is an utter caricature.
ANYWAY. I have more to say, but it is high time to go to work!
