Atlas Shrugged is one of those books that is often life-changing. Whether that is positive or not depends wildly upon the reader and their situation.

Other books I'd put in that category are Fight Club and Walden

+1 for Walden. You don't have to go live in a cabin in the woods to get a ton of benefit from that book. One of the books that helped me see the world with new eyes.

So what is the big deal about Fight Club? I've heard so much about it but haven't read it yet; trying to decide if it's worth the time.

It's not a huge commitment. Maybe 3 hours nonstop. The movie completely subverts the book, in my mind
