Atlas Shrugged is one of a handful of novels that is not only an amazing read, but also forces you to question your personal philosophy. I am proud to say that after completing Atlas Shrugged, I went on to read most of Rand's work and I can label myself as a true Objectivist.
What people are saying about Free Objectivist Books
From students
Atlas Shrugged is the most inspirational book I've ever read. Rand's philosophy of living life is practical and real, and is not to be found elsewhere.
Tom Sewe, studying medicine at University of Nairobi
Having finally read Atlas Shrugged, to say I was blown away is an understatement.… It was as much a work of original, enlightened philosophy as it was a literary masterpiece.
Katie Morris, student at Glebe Collegiate Institute
Making the decision to read the book was one of the best decisions of my life. The book is truly inspiring.

I just discovered that how much we need the idea of "I" to free the world.

From donors
What a great idea to get Ayn Rand’s ideas to young minds who might never have had the opportunity to read her writings.

It's very enjoyable to pick from your website's list of requests—often creatively written, coming from around the world, showing an authentic interest in greater exposure to Ayn Rand—one's favorites to send copies to. And very rewarding to receive signs of that greater exposure in the thank-you letters recipients regularly send.

My first book donation was unbelievably rewarding. The recipient thought Atlas Shrugged was the most inspirational book he's ever read.
Craig Micon, San Francisco, CA
Ayn Rand's philosophy changed my life profoundly.… It is absolutely in my rational self-interest to donate, and I'm happy to do so.
Ryan Strong, Yorkville, IL
I first read The Fountainhead after my boss at the time, Mark Cuban, said it was his favorite book, and that every entrepreneur should read The Fountainhead. I then read Atlas Shrugged, followed by all of the non-fiction books, and lectures coming out of the Ayn Rand Institute. Ayn Rand's philosophy absolutely changed my life for the better. It is with great pride that I introduce others to the ideas that will improve their lives.
