I usually bring this up to give people a baseline in explaining how loud the preaching eventually got in the _Sword of Truth_ series. _Atlas Shrugged_ is one of the few books I couldn't finish once started; the characters were just too obnoxiously stupid.

I read fountainhead years ago (and I couldn’t finish atlas shrugged also) but I recall reading about architects was way more enjoyable than about some railroad tycoons.
