Was having a discussion with my dad a few days back and he brought up Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged. He spoke about Taggart, Rearden and Galt to drive home a point; and this left me completely flummoxed because i could not for the life of me remember these characters.
I find it extremely fascinating that he could recall from a book he had read in the early 1960s, while i couldn't remember the story at all. I'm not saying that i don't know Rand's philosophy, but i can't remember the story of Atlas Shrugged, 14 to 15 years after first reading it; and here you have a man who remembers it a good 50 years after he first read it. Unbloodybelievable!!
