The Fountainhead...
The Fountainhead was more of a pleasant read than Atlas Shrugged, in terms of flow (and entertainment value). Both novels are essentially formats to display the same principles, values and such. She used her novels, manipulating the stories to preach her philosophies.
Autumn, if you you are up to it, I would suggest you read the Fountainhead rather than watch it. The book is worth reading. It is also a little quicker paced than Atlas Shrugged. Not as epic. If you liked Atlas Shrugged at all, you will most likely enjoy the Fountanhead quite a bit. (It's shorter too.)
I'm gonna have to read this Peck book that Equus has been discussing just to have a look at the thorn in Equus' side. If nothing else, I'll keep it in the bathroom.
Peace!
