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.

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.
