Listen, you are a pretty cool guy, but get the hell out. It's obvious you haven't read anything from Ayn Rand, and by the marking of that statement, you have no idea what Objectivism is about either. Get educated, then come back and troll.

[QUOTE=thisispain;15973995]Well Ayn Rand was heavily involved in social politics and morality.
So what?[/QUOTE]
I was being satirical.
Also, Pvt. Ryan, I thought I'd let you know that I have dreams about killing you and deleting your account. Along with that Ryan2406 or something and that Bryanrocks fellow.
Damn you all!
Nothing personal of course.
OP is an asshole who only reads Ayn as a rite of passage and to make up for his severe lack of a personality and intellect.

*sigh* troll.....
It's obvious he doesn't know anything about literature, he can't even remember what author wrote what. And he speaks of Ayn's books as if they're something you have to "ready" yourself to read. It's pathetic.
Fountain Head is a book, not a triathlon.
You know what you should read instead of Ayn Rand? Anton Chekhov. Everyone needs more Anton Chekhov in their life.
If everyone in the world just Anton Chekhov, the world would be a better place.

You do sort of have to ready yourself to read Ulysses. That book just like attacks you. I never stood a chance. Went back, read A Portrait..., still don't stand a chance.

George Orwell was Eric Arthur Blair's pseudonym. Blair and Orwell are the same person.

Oh well.
By the way, isn't Ulysses the book where some random character talks for 4 pages with absolutely no punctuation?
Shit sucks hardcore. I fucking hated that book. Get out while you still can.
Why was it bad?
I read myself halfway through "Atlas shrugged" before I realized the whole book was about three richpeople circle-jerking over their money and figuratively shitting on poor people and socialism. Seriously, it was like a porn-novel written for rightwing businessmen. All characters in that damned book was either extremely rich and ambitious or dumb and poor.
I find Ayn Rand's style of writing and her opinions to be very one-dimensional.
objectivsm capitalisam societee
do i kno ayn rand yet??

I don't know but that could definitely be in there somewhere
book is filled with stuff like that. It's both fascinating and horribly intimidating.

Your reading is very one-dimensional.
I'm sick of hearing this complaint that all Ayn Rand talks about is capitalism and socialism and rich people. That's only 1/16 of Ayn Rand. The problem is that people treat this as a political pamphlet.

Her books do involve rape on multiple occasions. I think Ayn Rand used her books to play out sick fantasies because she was an ugly woman.
That said, Atlas Shrugged and The Foutainhead are pretty good books, whether you buy the politics of it or not, they are compelling enough to keep you reading through all their many many pages.
