I wouldn't read Atlas Shrugged until you've read The Fountainhead, Ayn Rand's earlier book. Atlas Shrugged is arguably the "more important" of the two, but I believe that The Fountainhead is the better piece of fiction as a novel. Atlas Shrugged is more of an objectivist parable (statement of philosophy) than anything else and I believe it even has a 30 page monologue in it but don;t quote me as I read it a long time ago.

If you've never read Rand before, be prepared for her flawless protagonists. She always tried to portray her protags as the ideal to be strived for, and not a reflection of the reality of human flaws.
