The Spirit of Objectivism
"Fountainhead" in one of the most successful integrations of fiction and philosophy in literature. It is a literary manifestation of Rand's concept of Objectivism, and it's purpose is to tie this philosophy to a concrete example and champion, Howard Roark. This Objectivist school of thought is...

This Book is Hardly a Conservative Manifesto
And I will howl at you if you take this bloated tome too seriously. I mean, the hero is a rapist and the female lead a self-loathing adulteress. Enough said.
A favorite of sophisticated high schoolers everywhere, Ayn Rand's "The Fountainhead" is actually a pretty fun parody of a novel if...

If you are this much in love with a book, a con is hard to find.
There are times one's true principles matter--a principle that cannot be crushed even by the heaviest and the strongest power of society...and Howard Roark lived his life as if it was the last time he'll be able to stand up to what his instinct and principles told him--not the rotten society, in...

Ayn Rand's Descriptive Technique in The Fountainhead
I see The Fountainhead has drawn quite a few reviews, so rather than writing a general review, I'll share some comments on Ayn Rand's writing techniques.
There's something to be learned from reading just about any novel. This is certainly true of The Fountainhead. The novel offers lessons in...

The Fountainhead: A perspective for the over-40 crowd
Note to High School and College Students:
This review isn't for you. This review is for old people like me who are no longer as idealistic as yourself, but who might get something out of reading The Fountainhead if they're not scared away by the thought that only high school or college...

The Fountainead & Ayn
I am prejudiced.
I really like the work of Ayn Rand. I?ve read all of her works repeatedly over the last 35 years. I have a large collection of Rand Memorabilia. I think she is an important person with a lot to say, a fascinating individual.
Unfortunately, she has become someone who is a...

Spare yourself, I wish I had
When I was in 7th grade, I was given a book list by my English teacher of books that all "educated" people should read in their lives. Granted, it was about 20 years old and didn't have some contemporary authors that are worthy of reading, but it seemed like a reasonably comprehensive list of... Read full review »
Architectural Fantasy... if there IS such a thing.
I may be in architecture, but I don't read a whole lot about it.
When I read, it's more for pleasure, not so much for enlightenment, though that's certainly welcome. Pleasure for me comes from fantastical worlds and wildly creative stories that are masterfully woven and usually fall into...

Big book for small minds
Ostensibly an anthem for humanists gathering under the banner of "Objectivism", The Fountainhead tells the parallel tale of two men. The first, Howard Roark, is a strong-willed individualistic genius architect who avoids any semblance of success for fear of compromising his personal integrity by... Read full review »
Getting to know Ayn Rand
The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand is a great book that has a style of writing that is very different from a lot of other popular writers. I enjoy the Fountainhead, and for me it went by fast though the 700 page book might be too much for some people.
The main idea behind the book is...
