A little over 800 pages in now
Pause to reflect
"Atlas Shrugged" takes you everywhere
Far beyond the powerful messages
First copyrighted in 1957
You know she was writing by hand... or typing
Funny math - roughly 500 words a page
Over 1,000 pages, over 500,000 words
Unbelievable Passion, Strength, Logic, Imagination
Mark this book everywhere... everywhere
To meet her and discuss just one page
Would be the experience of a lifetime
Pages 678 and 679
Abound in run-on sentences
Not a single paragraph break
To give you respite
It's as if she is saying
"You will love this, but you will work for it."
...and she is right
...and you will
* phonetic spelling makes it more fun...

Ayn Rand wrote it by hand and had it typed. In the book FACETS OF AYN RAND, Mary Ann Sures who was her typist describe the redaction of Atlas Shrugged. The book can be read at facetsofaynrand.com.
1168 pages, close to 645 000 words and she explicitly used every single one of them.
Thank you for the note Luc. I appreciate the additional detail.
