Atlas Shrugged

Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand

and now I’m re-reading

The Fountainhead (Centennial Edition Hardcover)

The Fountainhead

I re-do Rand every few years. If you’re interested in her on either side of the political spectrum I recommend the tell-all below by one of her lovers – Nathaniel Branden – who tries to act like its not a scummy tell-all, like it’s some elevated tale of their deep and profound relationship and Ayn Rand and her greatness and foibles and his own greatness and his own greatness and his own greatness. It’s a scummy, scrape the bottom of the “everything unflattering I can remember about you” barrel while speculating on the twisted emotional motives of your ex by someone who can write. Y’know that whole concept of “self-esteem?” He either invented the modern movement of it or was instrumental in it. In any case, I tried to re-read him, too, but I just couldn’t stomach the arrogance. Definitely recommend it though if you have an interest in Rand. Or well-written scummy tell-alls. If you can’t find it at your local library, holler, I can loan you my copy.
