Next on the bookshelf to come off is The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand. I don't know much about the book yet, but I all I know is that it invovles architects and Rand's "groundbreaking philosophy, Objectivism," so says the back of my paperback novel. Although the pages of this novel are long, I am trying not to be intimidated and just hope that there aren't drolling pages of nothing that will make me confused and uninterested. But! until then, I don't know what this novel has to offer, and I have high hopes for this book! My mother herself said that Ayn Rand's novels inspired her to become a lawyer. Of course, keep in mind that she was an immigrant from "out of the jungle" as she likes to say it, and she only began learning English when she was 11-years-old. So I have some expectations. As should you!
Also, another benefit to reading this novel is that there is a Fountainhead Essay Scholarship Contest giving out between $50 - $10,000 to about 251 students (high school and college).
