"'Atlas Shrugged,' liberals whined"

"After liberals started complaining about Ryan's admiration of "Atlas Shrugged," I downloaded the book. I'm on Page 549 of the 1,200-plus-page opus, first published in 1957. My first-blush verdict: The characters make too many speeches and don't talk as real people talk. I laughed out loud at the dialogue in the first sex scene."
Why should characters in fiction talk exactly like people do in reality? That'd be boring and redundant. I guess this guy doesn't like Joss Whedon shows/movies either, most notably The Avengers...
