Which book is a better introduction to Ayn Rand's philosophy, The Fountainhead or Atlas Shrugged?

[Anonymous No.1404522]

Read both
Then, depending on which you prefer, read that one.

I'll explain the whole damn philosophy to you if you want.

Be a narcissistic asshole, only care about yourself. If you are stuck in the desert with your first-born child and you have not eaten in three days, you will eat well tonight.

You forgot the part where Rand advocates the idea of being a complete asshole.

[Anonymous No.1404529]

Read Anthem.

Because it's short.

I hate her because she's like all those neckbeards that read Nietzsche and suddenly think they're king shit because this german fellow told them to act like a prick.

I say this as a prime devotee of Nietzsche; Rand is Nietzsche without the irony, sarcasm, shoutouts, insults, poetry, and intentional contradictions.

There's also the whole bit about her idolizing a serial killer and having the whole purges after finding that her freethinker club didn't worship her quite enough

True, but I pretty much consider it part of the whole Ph.D. in Math thing.

OP is a giant, unoriginal faggot.
