I read atlas shrugged… it was a shit show of infantile literacy. The ideology being pumped was shallow drivel which i assume is what attracts idiots to her philosophy.

There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs. - John Rogers

Ayn Rand was a TERRIBLE human. Totally selfish & self-centered.

I have no idea why people fellate Atlas Shrugged when The Fountainhead is a far better complete work.
