I’ve read most of her books. I like her stuff.
Later
When I read that book in 1981, a whole new world opened up for me. I was apolitical before then, but after reading it, how could I not change my fundamental political- and life- thought processes. In later years, I was very fortunate to have as a teacher to me non other than Dr. Leonard Peikoff, the intellectual, and financial heir of Ayn Rand.
Worst part of the book. I got to that part and literally put the book down for months before picking it up and finishing it.
I’ve read all her books...and very much enjoyed the trip through her mind, her (heavy) prose, and her philosophy.
I count a great deal of her Objectivism in my own world view.
Recommended!
For the sheeple, the speech outside the context leaves them wondering - what in the hell is he talking about, because, truly, in the speech are references to facts and events persons who have not read the book know nothing about. I get the speech, even the early parts of it, BECAUSE I KNOW THE CONTEXT HE IS TALKING ABOUT.
The sheeple need an introduction that lays out the background to how the speech came about. Otherwise, the speaker remains “preaching to the choir” alone - that is we who already get it.
