A few weeks ago my dad said &#;Brad, you have to read the book I Am John Galt: Today&#;s Heroic Innovators Building the World and the Villainous Parasites Destroying It. You&#;ll love it.&#; That&#;s all the recommendation I needed &#; it went to the top of my Kindle reading list.

I read it the other night in a jet lagged haze on my couch. I was wide awake at 2am without the book, but it had me consumed for a few hours. The author, Donald Luskin, is polarizing, as evidenced by his wikipedia page and entertaining conflict with Paul Krugman (who he skewers in the book).

If you aren&#;t an Atlas Shrugged fan, this book isn&#;t for you. But if you are, go grab it now &#; you&#;ll love it. Luskin does the biography of the following nine men by lining them up with characters in Atlas Shrugged. He does a magnificent job of deconstructing the people in the context of the Altas Shrugged character, while writing an original narrative on the character and biography on the person being referenced.

• Steve Jobs &#; Howard Roark
• Paul Krugman &#; Ellsworth Toohey
• John Allison &#; John Galt
• Angelo Mozilo &#; James Taggart
• Bill Gates &#; Henry Rearden
• Barney Frank &#; Wesley Mouch
• T.J. Rodgers &#; Francisco d&#;Anconia
• Alan Greenspan &#; Robert Stadler
• Milton Friedman &#;
