I have read The Fountainhead 6 times now. I have bought the book. I got
bored reading Atlas Shrugged. Ayn Rand has gone over the top in Atlas
Shrugged. |

I've read both Atlas Shrugged AND the Fountainhead-TWICE-and can only conclude that this must be a philosophical blindspot in my make-up. When I was in undergrad university, other kids were carrying them in their backpacks, purses, under their arms, etc. But I am not impressed. They barely make plausible NOVELS, yet she uses them as philosophical texts. And I do know whereof I speak, I taught Philosophy for a number of years at University of Southern Mississippi (schools:USM,Princeton), developed their undergrad logic program, specialized in Classical Philosophy and PreSocratic Skepticism. Then I was a librarian for the next 15 years. It's been awhile since I read them, so i'd have to reread them to remember why I disliked them so much but would do if you really want to know.
shalom and se gesunt,
