So you can discuss your weekly readings.
I’m still reading Moby Dic, currently halfway through, so far is great, though as English is not my native language It means I have to look up quite a bit in the dictionary to learn the “old timey” words, but I’m using it less now the more I learn, it also made me check up the Bible to find the biblical counterparts of the characters with biblical names, which is interesting.

Has anyone here ever finished an Ayn Rand novel
. My lolbertarian cousin is currently reading Atlas Shrugged 
while going, SO TRUE!, when commenting about it. I remember trying “The Fountainhead” once and I put it down after an old man rambling about plastics.

I definitely read one, maybe both of those when I was 16. Her writing came across as extremely masturbatory, long-winded, and boring.

I skipped the speech. Even without that, it was horrible. I was in a feminist phase at the time and her r*pe fantasies and physical descriptions of men seemed very icky.
Had the same experience as you with fountainhead. Read it for a while before giving up.

I think I stopped around page 150, then I just read the Wikipedia plot. I’m not an architect, but I’m a civil engineer, and the idea of her hero blowing up a building is so fricking bizarre, not only egotistical, but downright sociopathic. Also, from the pages I read Roark strikes me as a total loser. He’s entitled, close minded and whiny believing to be an “unappreciated genius”.
