I know this is rather tangential to the thread but I suggest to FReepers to watch the movie, “The Fountainhead,” which is based on the book of the same name by Ayn Rand that was published in 1943.

Your posting this is rather remarkable. I just finished re-reading "The Fountainhead" two nights ago and returned it to library yesterday. GMTA, eh?

I'm likely in the minority here but I actually found it to be a more engaging story than "Atlas Shrugged". I hope that opinion doesn't enrage the Viking Kitties. :-)

I haven’t seen Atlas Shrugged but I think I am going to purchase a copy of The Fountainhead. I had a friend suggest that I watch it a couple of days ago and finally set the time to do so. It was absolutely worth the two hours.

Every FReeper should watch it and if possible buy or borrow the book and read it.

You are totally right. Both the book and movie of "Fountainhead" are great.

Atlas Shrugged has a few great set piece scenes (particularly D'Ancona's speech, the most quotable part of the book), but all the characters are two dimensional and the book cout stand to be cut by a couple of hundred pages.
