I just finished paying my bills and TVC wants to spend more, but I think I own everything worth owning. Please, prove me wrong! I want nothing more than to feed the economy in order to fight the terrorists.

You know, I really did try to read that earlier this year (my third or fourth failed attempt). Yes, I know how terrible it is, but I wanted to do a cute "look at me blog this obviously terrible book I am reading" thing. But I didn't even make it five pages in. The writing is so overwrought, but obvious, that I could not swallow the codswallop. The book is still on the floor of my bedroom, actually.

I tried this about 2 weeks ago. I made it about 200 pages.

The fountain head is better than Atlus shrugged right? Im reading that now and it's good.

captainbiotch · « **Reply #29 on:** December 16, 2007, 01:27:25 AM »

I haven't read the fountainhead. I've read the anthem, atlas shrugged, we the living, and I'm reading her journals about her writings now. We the living is the only one where she makes any pretense of reality and isn't using the storyline to overwhelm the reader in her philosophy.

FlameOfCallandor · « **Reply #30 on:** December 16, 2007, 01:33:20 AM »

Is We the Living any good? How close to Anthem is it?

TVC15 · « **Reply #31 on:** December 16, 2007, 01:36:14 AM »

None of them are any good. Even if her ideas were good, she is just a terrible, terrible writer.

FlameOfCallandor · « **Reply #32 on:** December 16, 2007, 01:39:35 AM »

I disagree, Anthem was pretty awesome and so far Fountainhead is great.

captainbiotch · « **Reply #33 on:** December 16, 2007, 01:45:52 AM »

I enjoyed the book, but I haven't read it in years. we the living seems to be a dramatization of her experiences in soviet russia, very much tied to reality with few romanticisms, thematically tied to her views through basic emphasis on the destructiveness of collectivism and the relationship between love and values. Anthem is her black and white view on collectivism/individualism, and nothing more.

I must not have read that one. The thing I hate about just about everything I've read by her is the overuse of romanticisms, but if you say they are not present there, I will believe you, since I can fairly easily see that sort of style developing, good or not, as one becomes more and more confident in their writing as they go on.

I haven't read it in years, and I'm slightly drunk. According to her journals her love affair with her own philosophizing didn't start until years after the outlining and writing of we the living. Her fiction was still very much romanticized it seems, one of the earliest screenplays she worked on was her basis of The Fountainhead. While she was much more Nietzcheian at the time I think the only thing that tamed her style was the desire to present a fictionalized version of reality in the Soviet Union.
