Guess I could start on ‘Atlas’ a third time. Just got busy and never finished it ... twice! I’ve read ‘The Fountainhead’ twice and absolutely love that one.

You can enjoy it by marking and skipping the soliloquies.
Go back and read them when you’re done.

I’ve read ‘The Fountainhead’ twice and absolutely love that one.

In my first job interview, the boss told me "We all start out thinking we are Howark Roark, but we end up realizing that we are Peter Keating". I wanted to punch his lights out. 23 years later, at least I'm still trying to live by Roark's principles, but I find myself acting like Keating from time to time.

The character from the Fountainhead, Lois Cook, do you remember her? She wanted to own the ugliest house in NY. She wrote nonsense poetry and was lauded by the critics and revered by the idiot public.

Who would play Lois Cook?
Rosie O’Donnel?
Roseann Barr?
Barbara Mikulski?
