Hello, all.

A quick question for anyone who has an opinion.

I was going to read Ayn Rand’s two books, “Atlas Shrugged” and “Fountainhead”. I know Atlas was written earlier, but I can’t seem to locate the copy I believe I own.

Are those two independent? Is it important that Atlas be read first?

I don't see how any order is required.

This may help:

The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged ..Clioff notes..

I swear I never used Cliff Notes..until now. LOL

I read Fountainhead first, and I am glad I did. If you want to read a story about a guy who stays true to his own ideals, no matter what the consequences, and no matter how other people try to control things, Fountainhead is for you. I really found Atlas Shrugged disturbing in subtle ways...;-))
