Alas, life despite being a still life from Atlas Shrugged, has nevertheless proved that both sides have their issues and neither is fully right or healthy.
But I agree with Harry, in terms of a magnum opus that describes life as it exists today and has existed since time immemorial, Rand has created a masterpiece that nothing else can come close to. In both her books, despite being one sided in her approach and often falsely idealistic, she manages to capture and convey a philosophy, which when practised in moderation will definitely lead to a better life. Nothing else can close to that.... of course, I don't include Richard Bach's Jonathan Livingston Seagull or One in this list, simply because it is slightly different, if at the same time being just as good as Rand's books.

Mumma : Yayyyyyy! I'm glad that we are on the same page, Mumma ^_^ Like Son, Like Mother :D :P
Her depiction of a Man as an Absolute Hero is so inspiring. But like I was telling a friend yesterday, it's impossible to be a Roark or a Galt
We are full of contradictions because usually one of our premises is false *subverts Ayn's quote*


Finally I get some inspiration sri....
"In both her books, despite being one sided in her approach and often falsely idealistic, she manages to capture and convey a philosophy, which when practised in moderation will definitely lead to a better life."
perfectly said..and I completly agree with that..!!
