IMO Ayn Rand is THE biggest DJ ever. She is a Russian author who moved to America and wrote Atlas Shrugged as well as The Fountainhead. After reading the Fountainhead my entire perspective of life is slowly changing. And just a recommendation, before you read any more self improvement books read this. It is crazy, it says the things that we've all subconsciously been thinking but can't express.

I'm reading The Fountainhead right now my brother. Love it thus far. Got turned onto it by my brother, who also has Atlas Shrugged. That's next on my list.

I've tried several times to read Atlas Shrugged but Rand has such terrible technical writing ability I struggle with it. It is a pity she didn't write it in her native Russian and have it translated.

Of everything else she was, she was very honest about what women want.
 

Never try to read a woman's mind. It is a scary place. Ignore her confusing signals and mixed messages. Assume she is interested in you and act accordingly.

I'm really liking The Fountainhead. Roark reminds me of my buddy, who is just out of architecture school, moved to the city, and is uncompromising regarding his work. I like Roark's character.

I'm still not sold on Rand's style of writing yet. However, discovering that she is writing in English as a second language explains a lot.

Several people in the forum who have read The Fountainhead believe that Roark is an actual DJ. Without giving the story away, he does a few very big AFC things which was actually detrimental to his livelihood. Just because a man stands for his convictions, there are times when doing what works is can give you a better outcome than doing what you believe is right.

Atlas Shrugged actually has several characters than more closely embody the forum's idea of what a DJ should be. Qualities such as leadership, camaraderie, focus, foresight, c/f, ingenuity, confidence, intelligence and appreciation to name just a few. Being a DJ is more than just not taking any sh1t, it's about being able to do something about it which doesn't detract from your own livelihood.
