Thank you for sharing this with us. I'm gonna read some of these for sure.

liked and subbed for that

Thank you so much your a genius i was really struggling i tried so much things then i found this video

❤️

some very well thought out points here, I'd be very interested in hearing their development in the further issues. surprised this doesn't have more views, as other than a little bit lacking polish in editing, it's a very competently made video on a very interesting subject. keep up the good work, cheers!

Why I read The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand at age 12: It inspired Rush: 2112

these are in reverse order btw...

Um, if Roark was let go from Architecture School, how could he practice as a licensed architect? I mean, isn't this like hiring a para legal to complete a major legal court case?

Isn't it just bad writing with female sexual desires thrown in?

How much different would the content of The Fountainhead (and Atlas Shrugged) have been, had Ayn Rand been, instead of a hardcore atheist, a hardcore born-again Christian?

This was a very useful review. Perhaps the first convincing argument I've heard to read her fiction.

I might like her more than you do!?!

...I want to read plays!

I love Random! It's definitely one of my favourite plays. Debbie Tucker Green is a fantastic writer.

I'm putting together a list of some of my favourites now. If there's any books particularly you'd like me to review, let me know.

Can't wait for the next video.

Very informative!
