Short description
A parody of Ayn Rand's Atlas ShruggedExtended description
This is, supposedly, the "secret sequel" to Atlas Slugged, the monumental best seller by Annyn Rant. Written in 1968 (ten years after the original), it was suppressed by its publisher, and ultimately by Rant herself, because one of its main characters was thought to be too obviously based on a person from real life, who would sue the publisher and the author, and win.Tags

This was indeed quite funny, but just like Ayn Rand's material, can only be tolerated so long because the joke falls flat after a bit. There were also errors in the quotation marks and their direction, which bugged me. However, despite those things, the book had me literally laughing out loud for a good 5 chapters, which was worth the small price.

Totally worth the capitalist free-market dollar I spent of my own free will to buy it. Very funny!

This book is slide-off-your-chair funny! On a "bad" page I laughed out loud five times, on a "good" page, thirty times. Ellis Weiner is absolutely brilliant and relentlessly hilarious. The best ninety-nine cents you will ever spend!

Brilliant, funny, and brilliantly funny. Ayn Rand has found the parodist she so richly deserves.

Could only have been written by a moocher, leech and parasite who is totally against Thought.
Hilarious. Ridiculous. Love it to bits.

A dead-on and hilarious parody that could only come from having actually read the Damned Thing all the way through, thereby distinguishing Weiner from 90% of the fans of the original.
Not only tears apart the original, but styles on Rand's own sordid life beautifully.

Ellis Weiner is the greatest parodist of his generation and Ayn Rand is the fattest, most deserving of targets. Thirty seconds after learning Atlas Slugged existed, I bought it; thirty seconds after that, I started reading. I'm only stopping for this brief public service announcement.
"THAT THAT IS, IS;
THAT THAT IS NOT, IS NOT;
THAT THAT IS IS NOT THAT THAT IS NOT.
IS NOT THAT IT?
IT IS."
LOL doesn't even begin to cover it. I am really, really enjoying this book.
