With its implausible characters, scenarios and technologies, as well as its portentous humorlessness, Ayn Rand's last work of fiction, "Atlas Shrugged" is the source of inspired parody and all-around jocularity, as is the equally humorless personality of Ayn Rand herself.
I've blogged about these before but I've decided to collect all the Ayn Rand/Atlas Shrugged hilarity into one convenient place.
The one that hits closest to home is MOZART WAS A RED, the one-act farce written by former Rand inner-circle member Murray Rothbard.
The funniest blogger of Atlas Shrugged I've found is Dani Alexis, although she stopped liveblogging the novel right before part 3. With any luck she will find time in the near future to finish the job.
