Fountainhead by Ayn Rand (1996, Paperback, Anniversary)

Ayn Rand was a tremendous author. She was born in Russia and came to the United States at the beginning of the 1900's. Her insight into capitalism, into socialism, and to the world's future was startling if not out right frightening. Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged are two novels that are must reads. They are long... more than a thousand pages each. But, I urge that every adult or older child must read these books. They could be some of the most important literary works of our modern times, despite being fiction.
