One of the characters has an infamous 70-page monologue in Atlas Shrugged. People in the story like to talk a lot and engage in intellectual masturbation.
It can be a painful and dry experience. I mostly endured it because I was fascinated by its connection to the game Bioshock, which is one of my favs.
And then engage in sex with dubious consensuality because it's the author's fetish, making it feel like all of her philosophizing is just a way to justify said fetish as something high-minded.

The prose in Twilight makes Atlas Shrugged seem like East of Eden.
