She's underrated as a novelist. We the Living and The Fountainhead are excellent novels, and even Atlas Shrugged is a very interesting, unique read. She's the only writer that's managed to bring the heroic out of the bourgeois (instead of making a bourgeois that happens to be heroic and whose heroic qualities are erasures of his bourgeois ones), and she's also a master of structure. The later two novels are gigantic but not one word is superfluous to the image she wants to picture.

The Fountainhead was a fantastic novel, Atlas Shrugged was a propaganda piece with a boring facade of a story.

She was ugly and stupid. It is good that she is dead, along with her communist counterpart Rosa Luxemburg.

Why is it that bad? I thought it was ok, not that great or anything, but not bad. I could definitely feel like it could change someone's life, so yeah, I thought it was an overall cool book.

She apparently studied the occult and the Js for ten years before she wrote Atlas Shrugged. Come across very strong. Slog at times but was very fun to read. Anthem is also a fun quick read.

I like fountain and atlas and i like the heroic vision. Fountain is the better book but and atlas really shows how much of a woman she was with the main character being a slut hopping genius millionaire cock and forgetting the previous, now inferior, man.

Yes, and I remember trying to effort post about some book of hers and I'm not even too much into her stuff. Couldn't gett shit out this fucker, I'm never bothering with it again. This place is somewhat worthless for meaningful discussions.
