It has been 5 years sisnce I have read Fountain head... my friend made me read it ... rather forced me to read it...lol.. the damn book is around 700 pages... but tell u what... I am thankful to him for making me read it.
The idea or philosophy behind the book ...Objectivism... can change ur life...and for the good... in the beginning it sounds kind of selfish and ridiculous..but think about it... it makes perfect sense...at least for me...
The protagonist Howard Roark is the ultimate hero...he struggles and fights for his principles against the whole world bend on destroying his ideals....he succeeds to say the least...the anti hero... Toohey is worth mentioning... he is the true manipulator... I really admire the talent of the author for bringing to life these two characters..
i gotta warn u about the effects of this book... it is kind of a brain wash...it changes ur perspective... but makes u feel good about who u are...i guess thta is good enuf for me...after all who gives a damn about the world!!!!
