Yeah, it's finally being worked on now, apparently.
I think it actually should be turned into a comic by Tycho.
There is a speech lasting 56 pages told by John Galt, and the book has moar words than any other english novel.

Atlus Shrugged: over 600,000 words
Penny Arcade: over 1,000,000 words.
DBZ Episode: OVER NINE THOUSAAAAAAAAAAAAAND!
