I did read Ayn Rand's "The Fountainhead" when I was 19. It was a suggested reading by a girl who would later in time become my wife .... the meaning of her madness was you have to read the works from the other side to formulate your own philosophical views that are on the side you are on ... hmmmm, interesting point I thought ... anyway I found it to be somewhat a dry, a tedious read but it all made sense.
"The Fountainhead" .... It wasn't entertaining, t wasn't musical, and it didn't have a beat.
