Good books

There are superficial books, easy to read, entertaining. There are heavy books that make you feel good about yourself for reading them. There are all kind of different books for various target audiences and there are masterpieces.
The Fountainhead is one of them. I have not heard of Ayn Rand before. An amazing intellectual woman of the 20th century, having been born in Russia and developing her own philosophical system (obejctivism). The book is not only really exciting, but it boosts a readers´self confidence and challenges the boxed in thinking. It´s a real revelation.
The book was initially so successful, that a movie was made based on it...in 1949. Well, feel free to watch the movie, but as always, the book will offer a much richer experience!
It´s like a shrink ... and I hope it has long lasting effects!
