She also wrote quite a bit of non-fiction. IMO one of her best is "Capitalism, the Unknown Ideal."

The Ayn Rand Lexicon, edited by Harry Binswanger is a must have.

She had some insightful stuff, but her myopic hostility to the religionists was a fatal flaw of her philosophy.

Rand got most of her philosophical egotism directly from John Locke and Thomas Hobbes before him.

I'll have to pick that up.

I would largely agree with you on this point.

Goody. More books to buy....
