jmarie3: jhnbrssndn: softculture: I once dumped a guy because he told me that The Fountainhead was his favorite book. That’s what I think of Ayn Rand. I like to think of myself as not shallow or anything, but would also dump a guy if anything by Ayn Rand was a favorite book.  I wonder if all the Rand fans have really read her stuff or if they jump on the bandwagon because it’s trendy.  Like the HST or Kerouac (am not a fan of either and will admit it) groupies who think they’re one of the two reincarnated or something. (via maxistentialist) Ha! Not going to lie, I did like a lot of the stories when I was 17. But not the philosophy behind them. Yikes.
