Uuuh...so I'm 83 pages into the book and I feel like I'm currently reading the preface to an anti-communist rally. Don't get me wrong the book is really interesting, and I love Rand's writing style, but I just don't know if I'm ready to be beat down yet again, with all of the rhetoric about, it being okay to be an individual/lone hero/self involved go-getter. Well there's still a lot more to read and although I didn't agree with everything in Atlas Shrugged I still came away from it with really good feelings. Although Fountainhead isn't looking too promising at the moment I'm eager to finish the book and find out what great deeds this Howard Roark character will accomplish.

Well,well,well...So the deadline for The FountainHead has come and gone. But guess what, I have not completed the reading! Look at me turning into the grand slacker. Anyhow, I'm only 52 pages into the book and I don't quite know what to say about it. One thing to note however, is that I definitely see a trend from the last novel I read of Rand's (Atlas Shrugged) with her tendency to highlight the beauty of things manufactured, man-made, and constructed. As well as her fascination with originality.

I kinda see this story going in the direction of...The sad, persecuted, hated, despised and unloved guy who takes care of himself all his life with the help of no one else, who happens to also be a genius turns into the hero and savior of modern times. Don't know just a modest guess. We'll see as the pages turn...
