Both Shrugged and Fountainhead were terrible, terrible books. Forget their politics - badly written crap. I can't take seriously anybody who got through those overheated, heaving bosom romance novels. Just bad stuff. To quote Dorothy Parker when Shrugged was published: This is not a novel to be tossed aside lightly. It should be thrown with great force." Ayn Rand was possibly the worst writer, ever. And that includes Nicholas Sparks. Bad.

Movies: The Invention of Lying. Very funny.
