What's the deal with Ayn Rand..?
In the whole 25 years of my life, I'd only barely heard about Ayn Rand, and might have talked about Objectivism for 5 minutes in school. For the last 3 or 4 months it's seems like I can't quit seeing something about her. First it was the video game Bioshock, then Randomhouse includes 4 of her books in the best 100 novels with all of them in the top 10.. Don't wanna get into the fact that 3 L ron Hubbard books are also in the same top 10.. There's also a thread on this forum that I didn't want to hijack.
So, What's the deal? Is this just another one of those topics that just happened to fly under my radar for my whole life then suddenly I'm in tune with it, or has she had a surge of popularity.. I don't get it..
