Atlas Shrugged in a day? Boy, do I want to see you take Infinite Jest.
I have to want to read the book for it to work. Looking up Infinite Jest, I'd probably prefer swallowing barbed wire to reading it.
(Atlas was back during my hardline-libertarian phase, so it was a lot more appealing. It also helped that the day in question was the day of the 2003 blackout, so there was nothing to do but read).
