I've read Anthem, enjoyed it, and tried reading The Fountainhead but I couldn't stand it.
I'd say she was a batshit-crazy INTJ, and her crazy Randian fanboys are probably batshit-crazy INTJ's, as well. Thats the experience I've had with her fans, including the guy who first introduced her to me (I realize that one guy should not speak for all). Anthem was pretty cool, but the Fountainhead was bullshit and I couldn't even finish it. It seemed like the kind of book that that arrogant, dilusional asshole in your gym class with an intellectual superiority complex would write. And that pretty much describes the kid who introduced me to her, too. I don't even know what happened to that guy -he vanished off the face of the earth one day, moved to a different school or something and I havn't heard about him again. But he always had some grandiose vision of his great intellectual ability, and he seemed to hate everyone, or at leats have a general contempt for mankind. Thats what I didn't like about her philosophical ideas, too -they seemed to be rooted in insecurity rather than actual strength.
