Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Am I the only one here who has not read Ayn Rand?

I read her for the first time in 9th grade when a friend recommended that I read Anthem. Have since read all of her books.

Back in the late 80’s while driving through a town, saw a sign that the local theater company was performing her only play and changed my plans so I could attend. The play is about a trial and was written with 2 endings based on the verdict reached by audience members that were randomly selected to be the jury. IIRC it was the first play ever written with 2 endings.

For those that have not read her works, I recommend - For The New Intellectual - it has excerpts from all of her works with an explanation of the characters and circumstances in which the dialogue is presented. In each case the excerpt is in some way a summation statement of a major theme/tenet of the book. Those from Anthem, The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged are especially worth reading in depth.
