I've only read Anthem. Do that. I think that should show you why people hate her. The question for me is why do people like her? I should probably read The Fountainhead one of these days.

>> No.791964

>>791869
Don't worry about it, most people who make fun of her haven't read anything by her, except maybe Anthem because it's usually required high school reading...she's just someone to make fun of really.

She has some crazy ideas called "objectivism" and is sort of the Sarah Palin of literature, but not that bad.

>> No.791982

>>791964
The problem is that her most famous book (Atlas Shrugged) is absolutely, totally, without exception terrible. It is really quite a bad book. Its prose is flat, but not as flat as its characters. It is far, far longer than it needs to be. It sacrifices story and drama and meaning for the sake of didactic argument - as the saying goes, Rand sold her birthright for a pot of message. Any book where there is a 50-page interruption for a lecture explaining the author's views on economics is, to my mind, a bad book.

The really sad thing is that some of her other works (I'm thinking of The Fountainhead in particular) are not actually that bad. They still have a political and moral message with which I stridently disagree, but the prose is more lively, the characters infinitely more believable and sympathetic, and in general literary value is not sacrificed on the altar of Rand's philosophy.

>> No.791988

>>791982
Right...I think people make fun of her a little too much without actually reading anything by her, and that kind of annoys me.

Everyone on here is always like HERP DERP AYN RAND IS SO GOOD I MAKE JOKE HERP DERP

But what can you do, it's 4chan.

That being said her books did suck for the most part, and not to mention, she was completely insane. Didn't she like go crazy over some guy and end up ruining his marriage or something? I vaguely remember something like that...

Atlas Shrugged is incredibly drawn out. If you want to hear her philosophy just read anthem and be done with it.

Personally I actually did enjoy We the Living, though. It comes across as a lot less psychopathic.

>> No.792079

>>792051

It's basically like "This is what Ayn Rand was like before she officially lost her fucking mind"

plus None of the characters are fucking gods. Whenever she goes idealistic mode (every other book) all the characters are just so bland and unrelatable. I actually ENJOYED listening to Leo and Andrei. it isn't like "Herp a derp. whoz jawn gawlt?"

Yeah actually I don't really remember it all that much. I read it a few years ago and I actually forgot I read it lol. That and Anthem were the only too books by her I read. Anthem was alright but it was a little...excessive? I don't know exactly how to describe it. But I remember liking We the Living but I don't remember much about it as far as plot goes...something about being in love in Russia.

Toward the end of her life her writing deteriorated, and most people here disagree with her philosophically(myself included) but some of her books are genuinely good(Fountainhead)
