Congratulations. You get a cookie. Log in to see images!
I tried to make it through Atlas Shrugged in high school, but got really bored somewhere around 200 pages in. I did have to read The Fountainhead in college. I actually enjoyed her prose style, it makes for good fiction, but her philosophy has more holes than an Indonesian brothel. |

Yet at the same time I have to respect her, she was a proto-troll. |

Eh, I’ve only read The Anthem all the way through, but I had to write a paper on Ayn Rand. While her ideas are… uh… interesting, if everyone actually followed her “philosophy” the human race would die out within a generation. windandwater edited this message on 03/15/2008 6:30PM |

And to think I know people who “live” by her philosophy Log in to see images!
I’m yet to read it, and if I ever do, I’ll take it as a novel, not something to live by. |

They seriously follow Objectivism? Log in to see images!
And I enjoyed Anthem as a novel, but yeah, I wouldn’t use it to build my life around. |

It’s hard to understand The Anthem without knowing about Rand’s biography. I think this is where her bitterness comes through the most (her family, being middle-clbum got kicked out of the Soviet Union).
Lots of lulz if you don’t take it too seriously, tho… maddsurgeon edited this message on 03/15/2008 8:23PM |

Honestly, I really loathe Rand.
Her writing style bores me to tears, her ideas can’t save her terrible writing.
The idea that collectivism inherently kills individuality is a complete and total joke. |
