But is that confirmed,i read somewhere that it was 647,000 words,is there any truth to this?
It's a long-ass book by any stretch. Took me months to get through it
Here's a new lead article for Who Cares Magazine.
Why must people be so rude? Around half a million sounds right. I read the entire thing in one week! (Minus Galt's speech!). Although i do not, not will i ever agree with her philosophy, the profound plot line is one of the most intriguing ive ever read.
lots, approximately! Seriously I don't care how long it is because it is just too darned good. So well written, and frightening accurate in how this country is molding itself to her vision.
Heard Ayn Rand say in one of her interviews that she wrote 700,000 words to explain who John Galt is.but how does that matter !!
A book so well thought and weaved with strong characters.
You could just Google it...but if you're really concerned about knowing the CERTAIN word count, then there's really only one thing you CAN do. ;)
It is certainly a lengthy book but a fascinating read and the similarities to how the world is going today is scary. We too I think have literally shot ourselves in the foot
And each and every Word unnecessary.
The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein manages to convey the same moral in only 64 pages: if you kill the producers, you'll regret it later. While the kid only kills one tree, imagine all the trees Ayn Rand killed with her flabby tome.
Yeah, but fortunately she did not have good initial sales.
