Also skip that 80 page John Galt speech. I've read the book like 5 times and never read more than 1/3rd of that speech. I don't know anyone who read the entire speech.

I'm trying to write up something about my thoughts on the book halfway through it. The biggest ones are "writes pretty" and "lots of [censored]"
