Probably my favorite author of all time. I think the popular consensus is that Atlas Shrugged is her masterpiece although I haven't attempted that one yet. I'm sure Francisco d'Anconia can tell you all about it though I haven't seen him around lately. You can't go wrong with Anthem, it's pretty short and digestible. If you like that one, by all means read The Fountainhead, probably my favorite book ever. It's a LONG read, but goddamn, it'll make you keep thinking well after you finish it. Just absolutely brilliant. We The Living is an excellent shorter one of hers too.
