I know most people criticize it for being overly long libertarian drivel, but I have a feeling that I'd agree with many of her ideas. I've read a fair share of better regarded classics (Proust, Kafka, Faulkner, Camus, Sartre) back in high school, but have stopped reading due to uni. Are these worth a read and are they enjoyable? Is the criticism of Rand driven by political agenda or is it actually tedious and in-your-face philosophizing?

I have to read ~400 pages of the Fountainhead tonight for class tomorrow, and I honestly want to kill myself.
Rand's writing is so bad with unnecessary description and "objective" writing. The whole book is basically 700+ pages of Rand yelling "look at my philosophy! It's the best! Let me reinforce why by telling you some more about it! Also alturism is bad! Also I have a warped sense of love and interpersonal relationships!" via prose (use that term loosely).
If you're an edgelord, anarcho
-capitalist, hardcore atheist, or enjoy reading endless bland descriptions, you might enjoy both books. If you just want to learn about objectivism in general, just research online or watch Rand interviews.
