No, if you're using it for a doorstop or as insulation over a hole in a window, Atlas Shrugged is definitely the better book.

I liked Atlas Shrugged. Apparently, I got different things from it from what most people get. I and I have to agree with the XKCD take on it: "I had a hard time with Ayn Rand because I found myself enthusiastically agreeing with the first 90% of every sentence, but getting lost at 'therefore, be a huge asshole to everyone.'"

And, huh, I wonder which other book Penguin thinks people should be buying at a lower price if they're unhappy with the $12.99 for Atlas Shrugged.
