Which book is better? Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand? Or Ulysses by James Joyce? Which book should a person read? And why? These two books tend always to be at the top of reader lists, the former at the top of "elite" lists, whereas the latter at the top of common reader lists. But which is really better?

Finishing, on the other hand, is particularly easy - at least for those who don't understand.
Posted by: Jeff at August 25, 2008 02:03 AMProblem with James Joyce is you can't understand him. Problem with Ayn Rand is you can. She is laughable.
