I have to read it for school. It's pretty good so far and I will say that it is one of the better books that I have read for school.

One of the most beautiful books I've read.

Some random list of stuff Alexa Chung hates had one that stuck with me: that she can't read Lolita for the first time ever again. Cosign that. The first time is a revelation.

Very much worth reading. I've been delving heavily into fashion theory lately--amazing how enlightening this stuff can be when read against contemporary fashion magazines/blogs/etc.

[american_hearts]

I can't believe in this day and age people are not only not ashamed to be seen reading Ayn Rand, but are proud of it to the point where they share it with others.

i mean i guess i see where youre coming from thus far her philosophy seems a bit extreme but the depth of the novel is pretty amazing. the fountainhead seems like a good book to me homie

An article about Ayn Rand.

http://www.slate.com/id/2233966/

While I don't necessarily agree with the reductive way the author talks about her novels here--even if I don't like them, he sort of seems to be oversimplifying the message--it is still interesting to know her history.

Didn't know the details of her drug addiction,

almost makes me like her a little bit.

Not really though.

Just started this:

I've been on a crazy philosophy kick recently (though the Ayn Rand talk prompted me to post this).
