The Fountainhead was actually an interesting enough story even if you don’t agree with the message Rand conveyed.

Atlas shrugged is just… Verbose. Has a plot but my god, the pages upon pages of monologue was too much.

A former boss told me it was his favourite book. He didn’t like it when I laughed at him because I thought he was joking.
