Anyone? I struggled through the book twice expecting enlightenment, and only found it long and depressing. I was 21 and 22 at the time. I think 'the message' was about not letting love or anything- get in the way of accomplishing your goals.
I still wonder why he thought I so 'needed' to know and understand that book, I last saw him in '90 and he died in '94. In the 80s, he had me tell him what I was thinking as I read it, but never would tell me whether I was 'right'- he thought it was brilliantly written, I know that much.
Is there any missed by me 'meaning' of 'The Fountainhead' anyone will share with me?
I know I don't want to read it again!

I have respect for anyone who doesn't understand Objectivism. No one should.
