Yeah, she was pants at writing love stories. I was there for the philosophical part.
That got stale for me after Atlas Shrugged. Long, undisciplined speeches that were totally unrelated to the characters’ actions in passages didn’t strike me as particularly insightful. As for the philosophy itself, it’s incredible that she viewed the Deity as a bureaucrat you want to ask a favor of. I can take militant atheists, but not if their atheism is based on such utter ignorance.
