Very few people know that Mark Twain wrote a major work on Joan of Arc. Still fewer know that he considered it not only his most important, but also his best work. He spent 12 years in research and many months in France doing archival work, and then made several attempts until he felt he finally had the story he wanted to tell.

Histoire
Joseph K. is an Everyman. His inconsequence makes doubly strange his arrest by an officer of the court, made with no formal charges or explanation. Disoriented and consumed with guilt for a "crime" he does not understand, Josef K. must justify his life to a "court" with which he cannot communicate. Through the court's relentless bureaucratic proceedings and absurd juxtapositions of different hypotheses of cause and effect, the whole rational structure of the world is undermined.

For all the thousands of books that have been written about religion, few until this one have attempted to examine it scientifically: to ask why - and how - it has shaped so many lives so strongly. Is religion a product of blind evolutionary instinct or rational choice? Is it truly the best way to live a moral life? Ranging through biology, history, and psychology, Daniel C. Dennett charts religion’s evolution from “wild” folk belief to “domesticated” dogma.

From Frank Brady, who wrote one of the best-selling books on Bobby Fischer of all time and who was himself a friend of Fischer’s, comes an impressively researched biography that for the first time completely captures the remarkable arc of Bobby Fischer’s life. When Bobby Fischer passed away in January 2008, he left behind a confounding legacy. Everyone knew the basics of his life—he began as a brilliant youngster, then became the pride of American chess, then took a sharp turn, struggling with paranoia and mental illness. But nobody truly understood him.

The best-known prose work by the winner of the 1980 Nobel Prize for Literature examines the moral and intellectual conflicts faced by men and women living under totalitarianism of the left or right. Written in the early 1950s, when Eastern Europe was in the grip of Stalinism and many Western intellectuals placed their hopes in the new order of the East, this classic work reveals in fascinating detail the often beguiling allure of totalitarian rule to people of all political beliefs and its frightening effects on the minds of those who embrace it.

Joseph Armagh was 13 when he first saw America through a dirty porthole on the steerage deck of The Irish Queen. It was the early 1850s, and he was a penniless orphan cast on a hostile shore to make a home for himself and his younger brother and infant sister. Some 70 years later, from his deathbed, Joseph Armagh last glimpsed his adopted land from the gleaming windows of a palatial estate. A multimillionaire, one of the most powerful and feared men, Joseph Armagh had indeed found a home.

There has always been some gap between rich and poor in this country, but in the last few decades what it means to be rich has changed dramatically. Alarmingly, the greatest income gap is not between the 1 percent and the 99 percent, but within the wealthiest 1 percent of our nation-as the merely wealthy are left behind by the rapidly expanding fortunes of the new global super-rich. Forget the 1 percent; Plutocrats proves that it is the wealthiest 0.1 percent who are outpacing the rest of us at break-neck speed.

But at the height of his fame, Nash suffered a catastrophic mental breakdown and began a harrowing descent into insanity, resigning his post at MIT, slipping into a series of bizarre delusions, and eventually becoming a dreamy, ghostlike figure at Princeton, scrawling numerological messages on blackboards.

Chris Hedges examines the failure of the liberal class to confront the rise of the corporate state and the consequences of a liberalism that has become profoundly bankrupted. Hedges argues that there are five pillars of the liberal establishment and that each of these institutions has sold out the constituents it represented. In doing so, the liberal class has become irrelevant to society at large and ultimately the corporate power elite they once served.

Modern Elites on Trial

Description
As passionate as it is profound, Atlas Shrugged is one of the most influential novels of our time. In it, Rand dramatizes the main tenets of objectivism, her philosophy of rational selfishness. She explores the ramifications of her radical thinking in a world that penalizes human intelligence and integrity.
Part mystery, part thriller, part philosphical inquiry, part volatile love affair, Atlas Shrugged is the book that confirmed Ayn Rand as one of the most popular novelists and most respected thinkers of the 20th century.

great roundabout argument against serfdom
this book is among her greatest and uses a story about a female industrialist trying futilely to hold together a world where those with ability are exploited by a parasitic bureaucratic class without ability and the stolen benefits thrown to ever expanding hordes of the needy. if only need is rewarded, would not the sensible realize that to be needy is better than to be able? eventually, the able go on strike - they refuse to keep wasting their life and health holding up the rest of a society that despises them for their competence even as it is dependent on them. the world collapses but with some hope of a rebirth.
one does not need to agree with all her points to appreciate the book for what it is.
there seems to be several reasons people would dislike this book:
1) they are looking for a good story with believable characters. as Rand has explained elsewhere, her stories are meant to be a sort of parable to explain ideas rather than to be taken literally.
2) they hate Ayn Rand. it is a fashion requirement in certain circles to hate Rand. you don't need to actually read her if this is you: most in those circles never have but just act as if they had any idea what she was talking about. it's a bit like that Ayatollah putting a price on Rushdie's head without even reading the offending book. I do wonder if people would hate her so much if she wasn't that rare woman who dared to dabble in the manly world of philosophy. or if her real name wasn't Alisa Rosenbaum.
3) they recognize themselves in the bureaucratic parasite or helpless looter classes from the book. these people would likely fall into group 2 anyway.
4) they don't share and can't ignore Rand's somewhat Dom-Sub preferences in sex. although there is no graphic detail, considering when the book was published, it will be a distraction to those of use who are particularly sensitized to even symbolic or consentual violence in sex. one can skip them as they are brief and add nothing really to the story.

1st Read of Rand material
A thought-provoking novel pitting a simplistic communist/socialist view of desolation vs the equally simplistic view of capitalism as pure good. Rand ignores the social responsibility required of corporations to keep its "market" of consumers healthy in any way and trumpets government as the enemy of the people. A good story and useful fodder for those who believe looking out only for oneself is the only way to look out for all.

I have read Atlas Shrugged a few times in the past, and love the novel; so my review is about the narrator. The reading was seamless, clear and easy to follow; nothing to complicate or distract from the words on the page. Very good job on narrating a dense novel.

The embodiment of mediocrity
To understand the book you have to understand it’s author Ayn Rand who was born into a failed Russian government in the early 1900’s. The book itself is her philosophy of “Objectivism” the idea that morality is contained within one’s own pursuit of happiness, in essence it’s a long winded jerk off piece for capitalism. The characters and their actions are askew in such a way as to push her philosophy.
Ayn Rand may actually be the original neck beard.

Disturbing
The righteous savior of the world will be vehemently amoral, atheistic, antisocial, and utterly selfish. Ayn Rand proposes that with the perfect combination of personality and intellect (i.e. exactly her own), a group of entirely flawed and self-serving people can create perfection. For all its intellectual depth and philosophy, Atlas Shrugged fails to grasp the simple truth that individuals are imperfect, and that power corrupts, while proposing to be addressing that very thing.
