re: #55 HappyWarrior

I’ve never touched Atlas Shrugged but I did have to read the Fountainhead in 11th grade Philosophy and I have to say how anyone can take Ayn Rand seriously is beyond me. I mean it’s just so cartoonish in the characterization.

I will say one good thing about the Fountainhead: The main character stuck with doing what he wanted to do no matter what the consequence were to him, and it did take a long time before he became successful. The fact that his architecture was actually crap is another thing, but I’ll give the character credit.

As for Atlas Shrugged, it made the readers feel like they could stay in the 16 year old male mindset forever.
