I’d recommend that folks who want to read what Rand had to say in one manageable chunk, that they read _The Virtue of Selfishness._ And please do bit let the title put you off!
Or, if anyone thinks they can’t get through even that, try _The Ayn Rand Lexicon_ and look up any topic you like. Look up ‘Christmas’, for example. She wasn’t a Christian but she enjoyed the holiday and didn’t try to ban it or mask it with Happy Holidays.
Her best novel, IMO, is _We the Living._
I’m not trying to change minds here. I just think her ideas are powerful arguments against what the left throws up. They should be used!
