Chronicle Toward Books Atlas Shrugged & The Fountainhead
The Fountainhead is one of the worst books I have ever read in my entire life. If Ayn Rand books were food, I wouldn't feed them to a starving dog. I'd say, dog, just lick your own balls. You'll be happier. Speaking of dog balls, man I'd rather sniff one than have to read this book again. What a piece of crap.The meandering prose. The inability to grasp basic tenets of what it is to be human. And believe me, I've done my homework since reading the Fountainhead. Ayn Rand was a horrible human being. She went on the Donahue show in the 80's and proceeded to tell an audience they had no right to criticize her because this was "her" show. Yeah, man, I don't even know where to begin. She didn't endorse racism but said it should be legal in the workplace. She believed that corporations should have the right to do whatever they want to do. Well, that works out marvelously, doesn't it, Ayn! We did that and now we're on the verge of ecocollapse.
God, if I could only raise Ayn Rand from the dead so I could seriously smack her. And then I'd make her live in a slum in India. That would show her how poor people deserve to be poor. If there is any justice, this woman got reincarnated as a sweatshop employee years ago.
The Fountainhead's plot is simplistic, trite, incredibly naive, and ultimately the work of someone who is so jaded with herself she couldn't see that her ideas don't work on any viable level. The exact same, if not far more so, goes for Atlas Shrugged. Read these books to hate them, if for anything.

second (or third?) time around it's even more tedious. constant moralizing wears on me. i love the relentless faith in the individual, but the characters are so flat in order to hammer her political agenda, that the plot ceases to be entertaining and leaves me wishing i'd just read a paragraph summary of objectivism and spent the other 1800 hours reading something less redundant and more entertainingThese books challenged many of my beliefs. They are a good read, even if you don't agree with all of her ideas. However, I don't understand why so many high schools have their students read them--the philosophies expressed are too big for people with so little life experience. If you read them then, pick up the books and try again. You'll understand this time.
If I had realised that this book was 1168 pages long, I might have thought twice about tackling it. It is huge! The Fountainhead was a wonderful read so I expect the same of this, but it is definitely one to be tackled in short bursts with no expectations of finishing it in a hurry. Watch this space............. It isn't often that I abandon a book, but was the case with Atlas Shrugged. I struggled and then decided that this book was never going to captivate me anywhere near as much as The
Just don't get too brainwashed, ok?
Reason, Individualism, Capitalism. Am I queen for a day yet? A must read for anyone who values their mind and what they produce. I am reminded daily of the themes in this book as I deal with increasingly unreasonable, government drones re-interpreting codes to make our lives miserable. Sometimes I wish I had the book with me to plop them on the head with it (FYI this is a joke, I would never hit a person I did not birth or was not taller than). Alternatively if anyone knows where the producers
Hugely influential read. Would definitely recommend to teens and young adults.
I haven't finished reading this book yet (Atlas Shrugged) but can not say enough about it. Absolutely love it!! Everything I ever wanted to put into words is right there in the book. It's interesting especially to know that Ayn Rand has immigrated from Russia escaping communism. She did not even have to live in that socialist regime, unlike me, to know what it would be like. Some descriptions in the book, such as what happend when one factory went all socialist, is an embodiment of what the
