Anyone here a fan?
I can't rave enought about The Fountainhead and I am starting Atlas Shrugged today.
It has some of the bleak overtones of the 40's & 50's - the headdown slump toward communism - that young people today have never felt. Aside from that "period" flavor; it is still so strong a reflection on people today.

I have not read the books but I did watch the movie Fountainhead with Patricia Neal and Gary Cooper several years ago and it really holds up well. It made me want to read the book sometime.
In this "remake happy era" it would be good to make a movie of one of her other books since the themes apply to today.
