8yrs. after Fountainhead

This book still stands out as one of the top three best I have ever read. At first I read it for a "good read", but then I realized this was not your ordinary, read it at the beach, laid back, pleasure-reading, entertaining novel. It still sticks in my mind as a maddening, confusing, eye-opener. I was so frustrated and angry with the main character. I felt like I wanted to yell at him to just give in, stop being such a stoic. Fall in line, Roark. His character is bigger than real life.
It does not take long for one to realize, that this book should be read over and over, and each time you could enjoy it, pull your hair out over its twists and turns, or just let it change your way of thinking. I don't wish to analyze this book. I just want to enjoy it and let it move me, move on and move out.

Nothing is true, but that which is simple.
-Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

Wait. I don't mean you're simple. I mean you were to-the-point and maybe the smartest of us all.

So you're saying you're glad to have read such a thought provoking novel and you're happy being a "second-hander?"
