Atlas, only due to the fact that I've read the vast majority of it already. Tongue

Actually interested in reading MK, if only to see what Hitler was thinking. The most awful people are often the most fascinating.

Atlas Shrugged because I made the mistake of already read it (horrible novel, although I quite enjoyed The Fountainhead because I love architecture), so I don't need to read it again.

This.  Also, I've already read portions of Atlas Shrugged.  It... kind of puts me to sleep, to be honest.

Atlas Shrugged (along with other Ayn Rand works) is one of those books that are better appreciated in the written medium as opposed to the movie screen.

Update is one of the greatest things ever written. Atlas Shrugged is a philosophical tract advocating radical selfishness very thinly disguised as a novel. Mein Kampf is incoherent rambling. It should be obvious which one I'd pick Wink

The most entertaining thing ever posted on the forum, or two heaps of boring, rambling intellectual garbage? Pretty obvious.

My point is actually that it's not intellectual, hence why it's "intellectual garbage". Should've probably tossed a "pseudo" prior to it.

What's the word count on a page on Atlas, relative to the word count on a page of a regular book?

One of these is said to be a surprisingly readable book that would probably be considered comedy if its author had not managed to put the ideas in it into practice. So yeah, that one.

Attempting to read the Galt speech showed otherwise to me.

Atlas Shrugged. I enjoyed reading it the first time, mostly because I actually liked the plot (which I doubt many people agree with). Rand's a psychopath of course, but it's still interesting to read.

I imagine Mein Kampf is the most enriching of the three to read.

BTW, I'd totally buy a copy of Bagatelles pour un Massacre if I'd come across it in a 2nd hand book store. Probably read it as well.
