re: #125 Lidane
I read The Fountainhead a couple of times, but Atlas Shrugged was painfully overwrought and awful. I hated that book. By the time I got to John Galt’s 389568934756 page manifesto I’d given up on it and ended up selling it to Half-Price Books later.
My college-aged Ayn Rand phase mostly centered on her collections of political writing like The Virtue of Selfishness. Her novels are terrible.
I never had an Ayn Rand phase, although I did have a Marx phase.
