>>Just read Atlas last. It is a great novel with some great story lines (the character of Ragnar Danneskjold, the famous train ride scene with Dagny and Rearden), but in the end it's essentially a political novel. Not that I don't love it, but We the Living and Fountainhead are better novels.

I had an English teacher who introduced me to Ayn Rand. It was either 'Atlas Shrugged' or 'The Fountainhead'. I didn't like it. She made me read another. Still didn't like it so she made me read yet another. Nope, don't like Ayn Rand. If you've read one of her books, you've pretty much read all of them.
