After almost reaching age 60 and never knowing much about Ayn Rand other than what others have written about her, I decided it was time to learn more by reading her books.

I thought an interesting approach would be to read them in the order in which she wrote them, so I started with “We The Living”.

I just finished “Anthem” (her short novella).

I’ve ordered “The Fountainhead” and will start that as soon as it arrives.

I’m wondering if I can handle the 900+ pages of “Atlas Shrugged”???

I finally read “The Fountainhead” 2 weeks ago. Great book. I read “Atlas Shrugged” last year, also great, as in very great.

I had read one of Rand’s other (Virtue of Selfishness) books when I was a teen still and it did not compute for me then, but I’ll read it again in the near future.
