Alisa Zinovyevna Rosenbaum, pen name Ayn Rand, was a Russian born American author. She's been quite influential in the american lolbertarian movement and is kind of a Patron Saint for many rightoids. And is not only limited to the US, I've seen many Ayn Rand books in sale in Brazilian Bookstores, they have translations of all of her works from Atlas Shrugged to her essays like “The Virtue of Selfishness”.
Rand was never considered a good writer, dramacels, what do you guys think of this lady?

I've never read Atlas Shrugged. Should I bother?

It's one of those books that can be really influential in your formative years but if you already have core ideals you think she's either evil, r-slurred, or just a mediocre writer. If for nothing else it's worth a read just to be able to spot the people she was calling out by their seethe.
