I'd say, dog, just lick your own balls.  You'll be happier.  Speaking of dog balls, man I'd rather sniff one than have to read this book again.

    <body><![CDATA[In my book, Ayn Rand still stands as one of the most powerful fictional writers capable of imbuing her work with philosophical ideals, and The Fountainhead is no let down.

Her world exists in a vacuum where nothing happens that is outside of the control of man, and where a man creates his own soul.

I still find her logic compelling, however, she never really understood that compassion can be part of enlightened self interest. Her characters are intentionally very hard edged and idealistic, I get that. The problem is, like all con...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/18896966">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[These books challenged many of my beliefs.  They are a good read, even if you don't agree with all of her ideas.

    <body><![CDATA[i admit it....I need help with this book.  I started it for a scholarship contest about 8/9 years ago and was never able to complete it.  I felt like I was unable to understand the meaning and then what I was supposed to be taking from it.

    <body><![CDATA[Finally. What, 2000 pages? 2 full years? These books deserve 4 stars because they shift your thinking. I look at factories now and I don't say &quot;Ugly&quot; but &quot;That is the physical manifestation of man's brainpower.&quot;<br/><br/>They also shed light on the vicious &quot;Robin Hood&quot;...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/36976772">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Half way through this one, incredible book.  Amazing characters, the story is slow but I can not wait to find out who built the engine. Her books need a lot of time to absorb some of the pages. You need to really focus on this one. The conversations between the characters are really intense. ]]></body>

WHile I loved the book I come form a different sensibility than my 21st century students and they had a really hard time juggling this book while attempting three or more other AP classes.
