>I hope you don’t have friends who recommend Ayn Rand to you. The fiction of Ayn Rand is as low as you can get re fiction. I hope you picked it up off the floor of the subway and threw it in the nearest garbage pail. She makes Mickey Spillane look like Dostoevsky.

Do you agree?

It's a tedious read, but there has been way worse literature than Ayn Rand

No, I don't.
The article is hollow and prejudiced, and the comments don't exactly add much to it:
>I could personally think of several ways to kill Virginia Woolf

Seems like a website for shortsighted people spouting shortsighted opinions.
I've only read the fountainhead, and enjoyed it quite a bit. I'm happy my mate recommended it to me.

There's a pencil drawing of her on the back of the copy of Atlas Shrugged that I read that made her look pretty cute. And that picture of her with the cigarette holder is decent-looking, though only decent. But there's way too many pictures where she looks absolutely rank.

Ayn Rand is like if Max Stirner was a hypocritical trust-fund aspie that also got shot in the frontal lobe

I don't feel like throwing a potshot at Aynie because I only read Virtue of Selfishness but I literally never met a Rand reader that I would call smart regardless of his political philosophy

Maybe they exist somewhere I don't know but I just don't meet them

>> No.5044860

I wouldn't look down on Ayn Rand readers because it'[s bad fiction; it's more the bad philosophy and cult that surrounds her.
