Ayn Rand's philosophy of Objectivism

[abaris]

It's a good thing to read everything you can. It's an even better thing to read stuff written by people you disagree with.

There are certain books, so utterly boring, that I never made it over the first few chapters. Rand certainly falls into that category. Not to compare the two, but Hitler's Mein Kampf falls into the same category. That I had to read for a seminar. At least for it's largest part. But you're right, reading what you don't agree with is a good thing. I did a lot of reading on objectivism, listened to the few televised interviews Rand gave and read a few pieces on her philosophy.
