I just finished reading my first Ayn Rand book. I was blown away.

Isn't clarity of thought refreshing?

I assume, "blown away," means favorably impressed, since those who are unfavorably "blown away" do not usually finish an Ayn Rand book. In that case, glad you enjoyed it, and hope you read and enjoy more.

Don't be too blown away. She's not a particularly good writer who tends to wordiness and stereotyped characters. Worst of all, she has a utopian vision of society that ignores reality and human nature.
