Atlas Shrugged. Short, simple, believable, and truly lifechanging. Buy it now.

I hear so much hate for Ayn Rand but I've only read Anthem which I thought was mediocre.

So can you guys explain to me why Ayn Rand is a bad writer?

I"M NOT TRYING TO BE AN ASSHOLE. I'M NOT TRYING TO GET THE BANHAMMER. I KNOW /lit/ HATES THIS CHICK. I DON'T LIKE OBJECTIVISM EITHER.

I just want to ask a question: why the hate? Why does /lit/ single this girl out? Why is she the only person on the absolute shit tier on this board? I'm honestly curious. I'm not gonna defend her. I just really want to know.

Ayn Rand's name is Ayn Rand.
My name is Ayn Rand.
Therefore, I am Ayn Rand.

What does /lit/ think of Ayn Rand and her books?

I've read The Fountainhead, and currently half-way through Atlas Shrugged. I don't agree with quite a few points of objectivism philosophy (it seems to exist in some parallel perfect existence) and think her books are written in a really disjointed way, but somehow I found The Fountainhead extremely compelling even so.

I've heard that "We the Living" is most like a traditional novel of any of her works, anyone read it?

Why does /lit/ hate this woman?

Every time someone mentions Ayn Rand, someone always feels the need to shit on her. I thought Anthem was just as good if not better than 1984.

What gives guys?

I know next to nothing about philosophy and only a tiny bit about literature.

Explain to me why this woman is considered such an idiot please /lit/.

Is she the Linkin Park of philosophy or something?

The universe exists independent of our human consciousness. I need no proof or arguments, because they are axioms deducted by reason. If you do not agree you are not a rational being.

This is not a thread for debate, but merely stating facts.

Just out of curiosity, why does the entirety of /lit/ hate Ayn Rand so much. I just finished Anthem (the only thing by Rand I've read) and thought it was decent, I guess.
