Post 9

This week I finished The Fountainhead. Overall I would seriously have to rank it as one of the best books I have ever read, certainly the best one I've read this year. The Fountainhead was riveting from start to finish, never leaving me a moment of boredom as I read almost frantically though the novel in order to see the various plot lines resolved. I wont ruin the ending, doing so would be hard any way as I have so far not elaborated in any way as to what this plot might be, but i will say this. If you, whoever is reading this, actually buys and reads all the way through The Fountainhead, you will be shocked, stunned, even amazed at the excellency of this ending. If nothing else about this novel where superb and only the ending remained in its current state, it would still be such a moment of revelation, and realization such as i have never had before, as to keep the novel as one I would wholeheartedly recommend.
I wonder now, how Ayn Rand would react to the modern political climate, certainly not one she hoped would exist 50 years after writing all her works. Although the ideals of objectivism have not caught on en masse as Rand might have wanted, she can rest peacefully knowing they have sparked a flame in at least one reader, me. I plan now, on reading through some of Rand's non fiction such as Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal, or Introduction to Objectivist Epistemology, both of which are literally on the way from amazon to my house as I write this.
