I recently read a book that I can safely say has changed and will continue to change my entire life. The book is called The Fountainhead, and is written by the controversial author Ayn Rand. The novel is a symphony of triumph, a monument to achievement and the human spirit. It is the best book I've read and the most powerful work of art I've ever experienced.
I am also currently enjoying Rand's following work, Atlas Shrugged. Atlas Shrugged takes the ideas presented in The Fountainhead and apply them on a large scale, creating a fascinating look at a society gone wrong: a society where parasitic regulation leads the immovable movers of the world to disappear one by one, with the entire civilization crumbling as a result.
I'm not writing this post simply to inform people about some good books I've read. I want to know if anyone else has read these novels and feels as I do about them. If these books have changed the lives of anyone else. I want to find people in this world like Howard Roark and Henry Rearden. Has anyone here read these novels or any of Ayn Rand's works and found them to be some of the most amazing achievements of the last century?
