I don't particularly know what to think of this book. I may try to finish it someday, but it just got long, tedious, and overly repetitive. Often reads more like a Tea Party sponsored text book with a thin narrative thrown in. Once I got past the midpoint, I lost all interest in the story, and I fe...
I read this book as a teenager while recovering from a long bout of viral fever which had left me bedridden for almost a month: I had exhausted all my other books and forced to rummage through old shelves in my house. (Ironically, I read The Grapes of Wrath also at the same time.) My teenage mind ...
This is indeed a very short (and scattershot) introduction. It is personal and all over the place but I guess that's the nature of these types of books. It's a long story why I read this, so I won't bother. As someone familiar with the vast majority of the philosophy mentioned, I have to say that...
Oh, Ayn, Ayn, Ayn. Tsk, tsk, you poor, misguided, sex-starved miscreant.There are no words. BUT, while I skimmed (skipped) the monologues, I did enjoy the story. Thanks :)

This book has been on the shelf begging to be read since 1996. When I learned a movie based on it was about to be released, I realized it was time to start reading. A culture of insanity has taken over the world and those who manage to avoid compliance are disappearing. Those with a shred of work e...
At nineteen this book is life-changing:It appeals to man's burgeoning ego.But at thirty, with likes re-arranging,It falls the wayside, like goatees go.It's not just that it seeps with pretension,Or rambles at length with longeuer(Which tests us at paying attentionTo philosophy which stinks of manure...
Rand should be applauded for, if nothing else, taking convention and turning it on its head. Government gone wild in an effort to maintain control is nothing new, particularly to anyone familiar with George Orwell. And anyone with a general grade-school education is, I'm guessing, familiar with Geor...
