outside of the cadere of self-important bourgeois teenage boys who seem to be her main demographic, the popularity of ayn rand is a total mystery to me.
her "philosophy" is basically just a simplistic restatement of a basic capitalist rationality.
stylistically, she is among the worst writers i have ever read.
i would rather drive tacks into my forehead than read her work again, ever.
