Ms. Rand was not a nice person. And her writing reflects that. It's a little frightening that there are some adults that actually like her. What a shame.
Books are wonderful things.
If you are a 19 year old female who wears a lot of black, there is still time. There are things worse than liking Ayn Rand. There are good books in the world. There are even great books. Ayn Rand wrote garbage.
