Anyone read The Fountainhead?

[kgraeme]

Order for reading:

Anthem
Atlas Shrugged
The Fountainhead

They basically correlate nicely with different ages she was trying to propagandize to. I'd say roughly, 12, 15, 18. I like many of her concepts. However, I also consider her a mild sociopath because of them.

Why Atlas Shrugged before Fountainhead? The Fountainhead is kind of a primer to Atlas Shrugged, IMO

Yep, I was going to say that Atlas Shrugged is very good except for about 25 pages of soap box and drivel near the end.

IIRC, that's ~95 pages of soapbox :Q

and yes, I read them all

Semi-spoilers:













Because The Fountainhead doesn't resort to a magical, deus ex machina cop-out ending. Seriously, winning because you fly to a magical island, led by a Merlin-esque figure, and use a magical device to suddenly put all the bad people of the world in their place? Uh, huh. The architect's soap opera at least kept to reality.
