Yes, I have read several of her books. 'Atlas Shrugged (1957)' and 'The Fountainhead (1943)' are my personal favorites. Timeless? Or prophetic? I'm undecided.

"Atlas Shrugged"....amazing book.

"Atlas Shrugged" and "The Fountainhead". This will probably sound unsophisticated, but what the hey. I liked the storylines - the plots - and have read both several times. Dagny Taggert was my idol. I wanted to marry Frisco D'Anconia and go live in Chile. I skipped huge portions of all the philosophy stuff, LOL. Objectivism, right? I just couldn't wrap my head around it. Besides, I was much more interested in who the hell John Galt was.

I've read Anthem and The Fountainhead. Decent stuff.

Ayn Rand is the vanguard of Capitalistic thought. The best book she ever wrote was a courtroom drama titled,"The Night of January 16th". It is a great classroom assignment with alternate short endings depending on the verdict the mock jury pronounces. It's facinating, and her only non-political work!
