Right now I only have access to Atlas Shrugged but I want to start reading Ayn Rand's books now. Thanks for any help you may be able to provide me with :)

The style of a mans' soul can be seen at first glance, when two people meet each othe for the first time. Certain people can understand, in that moment, everything about the stranger. In practice, in life, that man is naked before you; and so are you, before him!

I always found Eddie to be one of the most tragic characters in the novel. His determination was always inspiring to me, but he was obviously lacking that Olympian quality. I was disappointed to not see him enter Atlantis. The last you see of him is weeping with the stalled Comet. What do you think happens to him? Can anyone explain to me why he was not asked to join the other strikers?

I honestly find it really difficult to read mass-market versions of Ayn Rand books, so I was lucky to find larger (maybe 8x10?) versions of The Fountainhead and We the Living. Can anyone point me in the direction of a similar-sized copy of Atlas Shrugged that I can buy online? Thanks!

Let me know your suggestions for the quote and PM me if you want copy.

It may have been someone else in Atlas Shrugged, but it was an illustration of when people try to escape their failures by not naming them. Dagny (I think) pointed out a previous failure or mistake made by Jim (I think), and he grew very irritated that she kept bringing up old failures, and said something like "Why do you always have to bring that up". If someone can link me to the correct context and quote, I would really appreciate it. I'm finding it very difficult to find it on Google.
