I didn't like the Fountainhead much...a little slow for me and the enemy wasn't as frightening as it was in Atlas Shrugged. There idea of "The Destroyer" as the enemy in Shrugged was just awesome...The similarities between what Rand predicted in the 50s and what has happened today are amazing. The enemy of freedom and of America today is not just one or two guys, or a few governments conspiring in the background to overthrow capitalism...The enemy is entire undercurrent of society the philosophy of the left...it can't be seen or fought, but it is always there and it is destroying society. Atlas Shrugged really captured the feeling of this...of impending doom and the futile fight against it. I recommend A.S. to everyone I talk to about politics. Folks...if you haven't read it...you must. This book will change your outlook on life forever, and I'm not exaggerating. Buy it.

Humorless one-dimensional heroes giving long-winded speeches?
