The Fountainhead

finished reading it.
feel defended. though it was not needed and also doesnt matter much.
its more than a masterpiece.

i took almost one month to finish it. it was really difficult to stop once started, but stopped when i though i have got enough stuff to think about.

will read it again sometime. i will now continue with other Ayn Rand stuff.

btw.. its the first novel i have read. and i read it for the sake of its philosophy. thanks to Nir for giving great reviews and hence forcing me to read it. i didnt think novels can be so good. i still think most of them arenot (in a way i want them to be). i tried a few before but left them before reaching anywhere. they were mostly meaningless fiction or some literature work on which i didnt want to waste my time on.

    Fountainhead is really amazing
    Good you read it. Many people miss this tome in their lives, just to realise that if they’d have come across it earlier, they would not be what they are.

    Cheers,

    I like this space! Keep up the good thing!

    Re:
    Try Ayn Rand’s views on capitalism(Capitalism: The unknown ideal) and the virtue of selfishness. I think you will like them.
