Romans & histoires Book Review Of Atlas Shrugged

Shopping for winter clothes would only delay things, making us leave later rather than sooner. Atlas shrugged, giving me a small smile. “Don’t worry about it. I’ll send someone to grab you some winter clothes tomorrow morning.” The chill in the room was swept away, and I rubbed my cool palms over my dress. How Liam managed to face Atlas was beyond me. With his broad shoulders and icy eyes, Atlas was intimidating to say the least. Where Liam radiated warmth and sunshine, Atlas reminded me of a harsh winter storm. If the two of them ever fought, it would be disastrous.

I needed a shark to protect me from a bottom-feeder, and Atlas was the biggest shark in the ocean. After spending the whole afternoon pretending to organize my bags and prep for classes, I was bored out of my mind. I decided to head to his office. I kept on the tiny jersey shorts but threw an oversized hoodie over them, making it look like I had nothing else on underneath. I knocked once. He didn't answer, but I knew he heard me. I didn't wait. I turned the handle and walked in anyway. Atlas was sitting behind his desk, looking like a literal Greek god in nothing but grey joggers and a plain white t-shirt that hugged his chest in all the right places. He didn't even look up from his laptop a

“She got lucky.” Atlas snorted so loud I thought he might choke. “Lucky? That girl has been glued to books for weeks. She practically camped in the library. You saw it coming, Enzo.” I slammed a hand on the desk. “I did not see it coming!” “Oh, you saw it,” Atlas pressed, moving closer to my desk like he wanted front-row seats to my misery. “You just didn’t believe she’d actually win. And then she did. Fair and square.”

When I wake up, Atlas is sitting up beside me, reading the book I had recently been devouring to keep myself entertained. Eyes widening, I feel a wave of embarrassment flare through me as I realize just what that book was full of. "You’re up?" Atlas asks, not missing a beat. "Y-yeah," I respond, trying to ignore the burning on my cheeks and the back of my neck. "Um… How much of that have you read?" "Enough," he smirks. "No wonder you’re such a freak in bed." Shit. Could the earth open up and swallow me whole now? How could I have forgotten to hide that book like I was doing all the other times? Now he was going to think that I was some weirdo for reading such things.

Not for a second. I do. Because I know what it costs to open graves. I know what it destroys to recount what we lived in the shadows. I know that this kind of truth does not bring peace. It calls for war. I see the faces. All those people who have governed our world with smiles and cold decisions. They look at her with a mix of annoyance and fear. They sense that this time, she will not back down. Gabriel

Atlas smiles, shaking his head softly, "No need. I have plenty of suits to choose from." This comment reminds me of our interaction at the coffee shop the other day and I try not to laugh. You know this man has lots of money when he doesn't care about destroying expensive suits. Without warning, Atlas begins unbuttoning his shirt. I freeze, my eyes are unable to tear away from his long fingers moving down the buttons at an agonizingly slow pace. He must know I'm watching him because he takes his time pulling the thick fabric away from his toned shoulders. I could've lived my life in ignorant bliss knowing that Atlas has a gorgeous face and wonderful personality. But now, I've been blessed wi

"I do. Atlas is a lot of things—arrogant, ruthless, vindictive but he has a weird sense of pride. If he realizes the game is broken, he'd rather flip the board over himself than let someone else win by default." We fell into a comfortable silence, the rhythmic hum of the Zamboni filling the empty space between us. For the first time since he had transferred into my Literature class, there were no spies watching us. There was no Charlotte waiting with a camera, no Atlas looming in the shadows, no Dean Vance threatening my future. It was just us

Atticus was extremely cunning. He chuckled somewhat embarrassedly, “It’s like that for me, but Atlas also obtained a boundless opportunity. Do you think he’s easy to shake? Perhaps he wouldn’t have let go if he hadn’t had you back then. I admit it was an unsportsmanlike victory.” It was apparent Atticus was sincere and seemed to hold Atlas in high regard. “Muborough is reaching saturation while Bourdamun has excellent potential. You’ve also acquired a piece of valuable land. How could Atlas lose?
