Ok, I ready for the flames I'm going to receive. I am one of the those young teenagers you talk about (actually I'm an old teenager, but a teenger nonetheless). Anyway, I like Ayn Rand. I don't claim to be an expert because I've only read Anthem, We the Living, and most of The Fountainhead. Although I love Ayn Rand, I am in no way an Objectivist. I feel its too extreme. That being said I still enjoy her novels. Maybe its because I do feel a lot of what we do as individuals is to better ourselves either spiritually, mentally or physically. Also, I enjoy this idea of having a vision or a purpose and struggling to obtain it.
