Last post by TheLatvianNudist - January 27, 2026, 10:54:09 AMI am reading The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand now. I am on the 300 page now.
It is a very good and engaging read, the descriptions are very vivid, and the characters are impressively simple and complicated in their motivation at the same time. This is one of the only books I have felt like I understand the characters completely, and can intuit/understand their gestures and actions before even reading them described. I have always liked books where the author tries to convey a message, like 1984 and Brave New World, but, contrary to what I thought would be the case, Rand doesn't force the message/archetype of Great Men/the Randian hero down your throat. Instead, you are free to interpret the message, with only slight nudges towards the ideology of the author, so much that in many cases I find myself agreeing with the antagonist - Toohey.
It really is one of the best classics, because it explores the theme of individualism vs. conformism, witch is very important in today's society.
Has anyone else read it? What did you think about it?
