The love scenes in Atlas Shrugged were the strangest ones I’ve ever read. Makes me wonder about the nature of Ayn Rand’s love life.

They had an almost clinical quality about them.

“Makes me wonder about the nature of Ayn Rand’s love life.”

It’s pretty well known that Ayn had a very strange sex life. Not that there’s anything wrong with that ...

You should check out a very interesting flick called "The Passion of Ayn Rand" based on the Barbara Branden's book about Rand's affair with Nathaniel Branden. It is a riveting performance by Helen Mirren in the title role.

Not a very flattering portrayal, but having devoured everything Rand ever wrote in my youth, I found it quite compelling. Peter Fonda plays Rand's husband Frank O'Connor.
