>implying anyone here has actually read The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged

I forced myself to read The Fountainhead and it started out really boring but I'm like 200+ pages in now and it gets a lot better, I'm actually interested in some of the characters. The prose could be better I admit but it's not the worst I've read.

I think the qualm is the "philosophy" behind it all.

In any case I probaby will never read it, I'm a fan of nice prose.

i liked Atlast Shrugged personally. It was well written and unique.

Interesting thought provoking philosophy which i don't fully agree with but was cool to see someone else's perspective.


I liked the book alot, i was tripping balls for a full month (slowread) waiting to find out who john galt was

Why bother reading that? I played Bioshock.

It simply had too many notes.

I've read both, as well as We the Living and Anthem. They're worth it, but don't get too caught up in her philosophy. You will never be Howard Roark

I've not finished Atlas Shrugged but the Fountainhead, I thought, was fantastic. Sure it's overly idealistic, but at the end, I felt I knew the characters better than I knew myself, and it was very immersive.
