I don't fit into your little boxes...

I haven't read it and feel no great urge to do so, but sort of wish I might someday have read it, so I'd know whether or not I wanted to read it. But, like I said, I feel no great compulsion to read it. You?

I like Ayn Rand, but not because I agree with her 100%.

If Rand deserves credit for anything, it's for popularizing a collection of ideas other people had already had. It baffles me why she succeeded at this through her fiction, though, because she's a terrible author. A traditional manifesto would have been no more painful to read, and shorter.

I'd recommend the Cliff Notes, or just a primer on Objectivism, or just read the lyrics to a half-dozen Rush albums. It will accomplish the same thing :)
