Is there, indeed, a tone? Q: "How many Objectivists does it take to screw in a lightbulb?" On the other hand, I'm 43 and these themes of integrity, standards and conviction get me through more each day. The tones mismatch, but not in an interesting way, but dull! It presents a theme of pure, fierce dedication to honing yourself into a hard blade of competence and accomplishment, brooking no compromise, ignoring and dismissing the weak, untalented rabble and naysayers as you charge forth to seize your destiny. It's all bullshit, and his arguments defending, say, his low-key but all-consuming misogyny aren't that good and don't even really make sense, but just for a second you find yourself thinking, "Huh, the man might have a point..." before you catch yourself and realize that no, he is just an asshole. Often those comments ascribed beliefs to Rand that were at opposite poles of the spectrum, from conservative to radical, individualist to Nazi fascist. Upon rereading this 50th anniversary hardback edition as an adult, I was appalled at this amoral tale.

The impulse to read on, however, IS there, just as the direction of the novel becomes hopeless & it becomes a harrowing chore (since there are just so many other books out there to choose from). When the Bolsheviks requisitioned the pharmacy owned by her father, Fronz, the Rosenbaums fled to the Crimea. This was one of those books for me.

I will admit that I had been properly warned (Liana, others...). OK Ayn, if it is indeed individualism that defeats pathetic altruism to the ground, why then make your main characters such animatrons? I first read it 6 years ago when I was 16, and I thought to myself, Egads, I hate this book. You read “The Fountainhead” because many other readers have, before you; its a book as popular as “One Hundred Years of Solitude.” This awful novel begins strong, climaxes early (no pun intended) with an insipid rape scene, then’s all downhill.

If the story is not entertaining, don't read it. Because whenever i rethink about this book i become speechless.Yes 5 stars, why? The Fountainhead, Ayn Rand The Fountainhead is a 1943 novel by Russian-American author Ayn Rand, her first major literary success. We didn't cheat physically, although there was no avoiding or denying the intellectual and emotional cheating that just being in each others' presence elicited, but my partner/wife felt that something was wrong with our "friendship," and she was right. Of pages. Goodreads helps you keep track of books you want to read. "I will forge myself upon the white-hot anvil of hard experience into a mighty warrior..." or some such. I first read it 6 years ago when I was 16, and I thought to myself, square pegs surrounded by round holes who secretly know square pegs are of better designI read it at the right time- that time when the body is young and capable of only genius and having unapologetic mind sex on philosophical rooftops with someone else as young and genius sounds like the highest good...or at least better than making out in a Sunday School room while your parents are at choir practice.I read it at the right time- that time when the body is young and capable of only genius and having unapologetic mind sex on philosophical rooftops with someone else as young and genius sounds like the highest good...or at least better than making out in a Sunday School room while your parents are at choir practice.this review is bizarrely getting votes from people i don't know, so let me just reiterate that the text of the prediction is from this review is bizarrely getting votes from people i don't know, so let me just reiterate that the text of the prediction is from Based on everything I've heard about Rand, from her supporters, her detractors, or in interviews with the author herself, I feel there is no reason to believe that this book or any of her others contain anything that is worth reading, not even as 'cautionary example'.
