"We" is usually listed right alongside 1984 and Brave New World. I own it, but I had a hard time getting into it. Ayn Rand's Anthem is a much quicker, much less aggravating dystopian novella than Atlas Shrugged (One thing I can't stand about Rand's novels is the characters don't seem human. They NEVER make a decision that isn't based on their philosophy, have no flaws (or at least act like it...i'd call not acting human a flaw

), no moments of indecision (in fact you rarely get to see what they're thinking about, just what they say or see), and they to go on huge monologues espousing philosophy and preaching, preaching, preaching.
Plus she's extremely long winded and has to describe fucking everything, and she seems to hate other people, except for whoever the love interest is (you should read her monologue against the word 'we' in Anthem). Plus she seems to be completely against charity or helping other people out, even when it's voluntarily given. They are hard reads for me, and one of my classrooms witnessed me throwing
The Fountainhead across the room in anger multiple times while I was reading it. I made it all the way through that one, but I couldn't stomach too much of Atlas Shrugged.
I have to credit her to leading me to find out about Libertarianism, though, because when reading about her Objectivist philosophy and hating the really cruel and selfish bits, I encountered the term and found Libertarianism much less barbaric and appealing
