Can't say that I've read it sorry. It's one of those books you either have to read for school, or that you resolve to read "one of these days." I'm in the latter category... sweatdrop

I haven't read that, however I read The Fountainhead and I must say I adored it. Ayn Rand is my hero.

She is one of mine, too. She is the most intellectually honest, agressive and briliant minds of the free world.

I could gladly and hapily argue about the merit of Ayn Rand, but I have some serious problems with some of the ideas she has.
i'm also reading Atlas Shrugged right now, but I'm not doing it too quickly.

Khalida Nyoka I could gladly and hapily argue about the merit of Ayn Rand, but I have some serious problems with some of the ideas she has. i'm also reading Atlas Shrugged right now, but I'm not doing it too quickly.
The problem with her is that she wants to be a philosopher and inspire people to follow her theorys through books, and she's not a philosopher. In fact, she is simply an amazing story writer.

I like communism. And yes, I'm serious. The communist Manifesto is an excellent read so long as you keep an open mind as to what has happened to countries that tried to utilize "communism."

ferret321 What is wrong with capitalism? Nothing, I like capitalism, but I dislike most/many of the characters in Ayn Rand's novels.

I plan to read that book one of these days, but I've only read Anthem, which was a very thought-provoking read, if I do say so myself. biggrin
