25 minutes in, I'm convinced The Fountainhead only needs a '90s sitcom laugh track to work as a romantic comedy. #thefountainhead #howardroark #aynrand #objectivism #patricianeal #sitcom #romcom

Since I learned about #AynRand, I found her work just silly and mean, and her followers dumb.

NOT ANYMORE!

I understand why it’s influential. I just don’t agree with it.

Nobody succeeds in a vacuum.

Have you read it? What did you think?
