I give out Atlas Shrugged as Christmas presents, and I make all my interns read it.

Paul Ryan

It's one thing to buy a copy of 'Atlas Shrugged.' You actually have to read it to get anything out of it.

Henry Rollins

Growing up, as a kid, I loved to read. I liked to read books that were above my range. I always tried to aim higher and read difficult books.

Hidetaka Miyazaki

I'm a very wide reader. I read serious books and I read airplane, forgettable books. I never have fewer than four or five books beside my bed at night. I particularly enjoy reading about people who have gone through a personal growth.

Mary Robinson

I've read over 4,000 books in the last 20+ years. I don't know anybody who's read more books than I have. I read all the time. I read very, very fast. People say, "Larry, it's statistically impossible for you to have read that many books."

Larry Winget

I didn't have very many friends growing up. I was very much a nerd. I read comic books, and I wanted to do well in school.

Xavier Woods

You know what that big number was? It was 1957. It's not the year I was born. I'm a little older than that. I wish it was the year I was born. It was the year one of my favorite books was written: 'Atlas Shrugged.' Ayn Rand.

Rick Santelli

I guess when you take a look at the book 'Atlas Shrugged,' I think most people always like to identify with the main character - that would be John Galt. I guess I identify with Hank Rearden, the fella that just refused until the very end to give up.

Ron Johnson

When I do read, it tends to be serious books like autobiographies and if I've met a famous person, I'll read up on them.

Graeme Souness

I've always been drawn to writing for young readers. The books that I read growing up remain in my mind very strongly.

Meg Wolitzer

I tend to really be partial to Ayn Rand, and to The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged.

Clarence Thomas

When I was growing up, I always read horror books, while my sister read romance novels.

Dorothy Allison

Atlas Shrugged and The Fountainhead, doubtless two of the most exquisitely adolescent of fictions.

Nancy Mairs

The most important thing for a writer to do is to write. It really doesn't matter what you write as long as you are able to write fluidly, very quickly, very effortlessly. It needs to become not second nature but really first nature to you. And read; you need to read and you need to read excellent books and then some bad books. Not as many bad books, but some bad books, so that you can see what both look like and why both are what they are.

Augusten Burroughs

'Atlas Shrugged,' let's face it, was probably the most important novel of the 20th century that was never a film.

Albert S. Ruddy

When I lived in China, there were no libraries. My mother bought books for me, and they were mostly the classics. I read 'Peter Pan,' 'The Secret Garden,' the 'Rosemary' books, and Kipling's 'Just So' Stories was one of my favorites. No, I didn't read historical fiction. It didn't exist where I was growing up in China.
