Yes, it's a very funny book once you get past the droning sentences and start seeing the core absurdity of its ideas. The gushing praise it lavishes on the rich has to be read to be believed.

As the old joke goes, there are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.
