Ayn rand was an intelliget lady. I read a couple of her books, Fountainhead, and Atlas Shrugged. I thought both were very good.

I believe you can still watch the three part movie of Atlas Shrugged on You tube. Great movie! The first part is a little dull, but hang abound for part two and three.

  I read both those books, she was an intelligent lady... I only wish she had found her savior before her passing, in 1982.

   ..But being born in Russia and raised in the Soviet Union..she was possibly cheated out of a proper introduction, thus her writings were
     based on a purely matrerialistic view.
