I suggest you finish "The Fountainhead" if only because Ayn had an almost prescient vision of what society would become. Remember, the book was written 60 years ago, yet it describes the current decay of our society brilliantly.

I am looking at it right now. Spose I might as well finish it.

I read some political books from the mid 60's, "Concience of a Conservative", "It Usually Begins With Ayn Rand" and I have to tell you that the political world hasn't changed much since then. There is only one thing that has changed anything in American political sensibilities and that was 9/11 which introduced the idea of radical Islam to the vast majority of the populace as a credible threat. Of course about 70% of the liberals refuse to think in terms other than left and right and think that Osama Bin Laden is some kind of middle east Che Guverra. It's really sad how little politics has changed though. Things have been pretty much static since the great depression IMHO, which is when the communist influences entered our society for the first time in a serious organized way and brough us to the current situation.
