I often see this book being memed on here, but is it actually worth reading?

>>21920817 (OP)

No

Yes, objectivism is objectively the objective truth of objective reality

>>21920817 (OP)

Yes, the fact that it makes braindead marxists seethe proof enough.

It's "worth reading" in the same sense that Freddy Got Fingered is "worth watching." It's retarded, but it's useful to understand what it is.

>I have never read a piece of work from Ayn Rand, beyond some paragraphs and extracts here and there on the internet. I never gave Objectivism, her system of thought, much importance.



>But there are people -Objectivists- who think she is one of the greatest, or the greatest, philosopher ever (along with Aristotle, they'll add). Sometimes, Objectivists tell people who have not read Rand to read her, so that they can become rational, and abandon their "non-Objectivist, mystical beliefs".



>I haven't read anything from Rand because I consider that the effort won't be worth it, as every time I've read something from Objectivists, I have not been persuaded that there is much to be learned from Rand. And also, there exists a critique available on the net that demolishes Objectivism. I will give reasons later why I believe the critique succeeds.

The Fountainhead is a better book but the idea is the same. Most people in society are parasitic scum (this is why most people hate it) who leech off the true individuals of society and at the same time try to undermine them at every turn.

It’s a drag but I’m glad I read it and it made me cry like 3 times at least.

yes

>is it good

absolutely not

It's very worth reading even if as a story it has major issues.

It's very clearly philosophical message over narrative, and has some oddities usually associated with amateur and fan fiction, but the ideas are very interesting.



Also because it's usually lied about and smeared a ton, the only way to actually know what it's really about is to read it yourself. It's not the best writing but it's not boring.

You could also try the audiobook version if reading it isn't convenient. It's a long book so regardless it's going to take you a few days to get through.

Fuck off dude.

I'd rather fuck your mom while you and your step dad watch

Like most of Rand's work it's a book about the most deranged, selfish, insane ideas imaginable written by a hypocrite who was and still is regarded as churning out mediocre at best prose. 



Her books are absolutely hilarious disasters or fascinating insights into one of the most insane minds to ever reach popularity. Either way, they make for interesting reading.
