I read Atlas Shrugged because the designer of Bioshock said it was the main inspiration for the game.
I didn’t realize they were making fun of it until after I read it. I don’t remember why I read The Fountainhead, but after that one I realized she just fucking sucks.
She was such a bag of dicks, wan’t she? Pseudointellectual and edgy teenagers read it because it feels like a rite of passage to get through the bad writing and long drawn out meanderings, and it’s controversial. Then you realize she’s just an asshole…
I’m pretty sure I was tricked into reading Anthem, along with Animal Farm.
End of 8th grade, several of the other students were talking about these two books, how the first day of 9th grade at the big scary high school there was gonna be a test on these books, so we had a summer reading assignment.
It didn’t occur to me that precisely half of us had signed up to take literature class in the Spring.
So I borrowed a copy of them and read them…for no apparent reason.
Animal Farm is basically The Soviet Union For Dummies and Anthem is basically That Other Book Ayn Rand Wrote.
i feel like i’m the only person in this thread who never knew anyone dumb enough to read that crap, let alone enjoy it or think it’s great.
My dad read it and loved it. Yes, he’s MAGA. No, I don’t talk to him much.

I listened to Fountainhead audiobook and from the very start, I knew I was going to fucking hate this Roarke fella. What an absolute wanker.
