[King Hadas]

I stopped reading after Dagney's number one peon realizes his also in love with her. At the end of the chapter he tells the mysterious stranger in the cafeteria about Rearden and Dagney's affair and the stranger, distressed, books it out of there (I assume his in love with Dagney as well).

I guess I'll just have to show some true world grit and finish the damn thing. You see I got side tracked with something else and when I got back to it I saw it's hugeness with fresh eyes. The pages are enormous and the print is so tiny. If this was in paperback I bet it would be more like 2000 pgs long. If it was non-fiction I wouldn't be having this problem but at some point in my life I picked up a lot of weird rules on when it is and isn't okay to read a book.
