>"The best book I've ever read was Atlas Shrugged in 8th grade. Changed my life."

>Not because I remember anything about it, or believe anything it espouses, or even like it all that much, but because it's a useful filter for obnoxious people in meatspace.

>If someone I don't know too well asks me what my favorite book is, I say Atlas Shrugged. If they react inappropriately, I'll be cordial and treat them with respect, but I don't want to be friends. If they're way too supportive - the same rule applies.

>If they're critical in a way I can appreciate, then I know they can either tolerate ideas they hate or have the social accumen to not go too hard in the paint early on in a relationahip. Really, I'm just looking for people who won't jump down my throat on a faux pas.

>Later on in the relationship I'll tell them my actual favorite book, "A Canticle for Leibowitz", or "Neuromancer", or "The Dying Earth" (my opinion changes based on my mood).

I actually liked Atlas Shrugged despite it being politically a 1000+ page soyjak/gigachad comic, and functionally a reverse harem anime.

Leftists are right in that it's objectively (heh) poorly written. But nobody criticizes it for being Ayn Rand being uncontrollably horny and having a whole harem of chads she liked. Cool Steel mill chad Rearden in a business suit, playboy Francisco Italian chad relaxing in his house in his Pyjamas, Fabio looking pirate had described as being Swedish and Blonde looking. The world ending super chad John Galt. The Ayn Rand self insert Dangery having rough (r*pey) passionate s*x with both Rearden and John Galt, and passionate and close intimate moments with the others.

A good 10% of the book is contrasting the highly sexualized, tall, chads with the short, stout, ugly, fat socialists. Literally :marseygigachad: :!marseysoyhype:

Imagine if a guy wrote a political epic that was to summerize his philosophical worldview, and the self insert author was around a whole litter of different ethnicity beautiful women with massive breasts that just love him and want to impress him, and that's the plot.
