People do seem inherently unable to convey a quick synopsis of Rand's books. You usually get little more than vague descriptions which eventually end with "you just have to read it to understand."
I encounter these people fairly regularly. Some of us have taken to calling them "Randroids."
I see the issue as two-fold:
1) When you get down to it, Rand's entire schtick seems to revolve around her being an unattractive women with power and control issues.
and...
2) There must be some nefarious organization out there who's sole purpose is to put a copy of The Fountainhead into the hands of every 16 year old in America.
