Read Atlas Shrugged, Fountainhead and Anthem. Didn't care much for any of them to be honest. Atlas Shrugged could have been the best of the three if it wasn't 200 pages longer than it should have been. Anthem and Fountainhead were more enjoyable to me, all three are just preachy for objectivism tbh. Worth skipping, so much more good shit out there.

As a writer, Rand isn't terribly respectable. She's a philosopher who writes, definitely lacking in artistic merit. I'm pissed at the wasted time I spent on those books, but I did take away something valuable from them: now of I don't like a book 50-80 pages in, I drop it. Before I'd finish just to finish.

Read anthem as well as fountainhead. My teacher turned me onto ayn rand and insists i do the essay contest, id be lying though by writing anything thatd allow me to win. I think ill skip atlas shrugged for now.

The answer is within you.

Search deep young padawan

IamBenT · 06-05-2013, 04:04 PM

I shall begin the search. Perhaps one day I shall understand the desire to read those ginormous dumps that Ayn Rand calls "books"
