Description
Again, I'm late. Sorry. Life getting in the way of my explaining.
This is a play off the typical "hidden door" in which you pull down the right book and suddenly a wall of books turns into a hidden door. In this case, the book is Atlas Shrugged and instead of a secret passage, the wall swings around and takes you to a message "You Have Terrible Taste".
Atlas Shrugged is a dystopian novel by Ayrn Rand.
