I know, I know, I was once young, impressionable, and thought I knew everything: exactly the kind of person drawn to this doorstopper of a political screed thinly disguised as a novel

Does pretensiousness still have any real merit behind it, or has it just become fancy word for "that thing I don't like"?
If not, is there really anything wrong with being pretentious?
I didn't really want to make this topic to mock Rand, I just didn't have any better idea of what to put in here.

Should I read The Fountainhead before I read Atlas Shrugged? Should I read any other of Ayn Rand's books before I read Shrugged or any other books in general? I'm a very new reader so I'm just wondering.

Alright, I've seen this fucker mentioned far too many times in shit books that were going out of their way to call this book shit. What should I expect when I read it? Is it so bad that even the bad writers hate it? Or is it so good that it somehow eludes the bad writers?
