Back to Objectivism

"Who is John Galt?"


'Howard Roark laughed.'


Two of the most potent lines in the history of literature...Lines tht introduced the readers to a new world...lines tht peeled the first layer off the protagonists...lines tht made heroes out of mortals...lines tht will be remembered by readers for ages to come...lines tht will remind all even centuries frm now tht mavericks wil continue to live amongst us,like us and yet,unlike us, and they will continue to make a difference to our lives so powerful,so omnipresent tht we mit be forced to change our definiton of life itself...

A wholehearted salute to Ayn Rand for giving us such cult classics which began with the famous words...

An awesome book, one of the most influential classics i've read, the others being Shantaram, Atlas Shrugged and Dice Man!

i liked atlas shrugged more than fountainhead the first time i read both...rit now m re-reading fountainhead...just to see if i can see it all thru a different perspective...

with me it's the opposite, i liked Fountainhead more than Atlas Shrugged. Maybe it's bcoz i read Fountainhead first.
