Best book ever.

This is the ethos of the United States. If you don't like something, don't cry about it. Change it.

[Anonymous No.8921672]

That's the ethos of 66% of the United States, soon to be <40%.

Adventures of augie march by bellow was a better stab at the great American novel.

"I am an American, Chicago born – Chicago, that somber city – and go at things as I have taught myself, free-style, and will make the record in my own way: first to knock, first admitted; sometimes an innocent knock, sometimes a not so innocent. But a man's character is his fate, says Heraclitus, and in the end there isn't any way to disguise the nature of the knocks by acoustical work on the door or gloving the knuckles."

GOAT opening lines. The American ethos in a paragraph.

Reminder that The Fountainhead is better but gets less attention because it's not as political.

It was from when /lit/ was first created and people would endlessly spam ayn rand troll threads.

I was trying to reminisce about the good old days....not tell op to stop posting rand threads.

Are you on your period?

Quality thread bro.

I'm interested in how this book often appears in Murrican 'greatest book' lists (and even 'most popular' lists, despite being an effing doorstop), but the rest of the world is barely aware of it. This is the result of Cold War propaganda, right? When did it happen, whodunnit, and how?

Ayn Rand changed my life. I was confused about my sexuality, was beta af and had got back together with the ex that cheated on me. I picked up the book and by the time I got to D'anconia's money speech, I had dumped her, stopped fapping to gay porn, became fully straight, starting working out, and began reading the Greeks, especially the Stoics.

Now I make 150k at a company and I'm not even 30.

Thank you, Ayn. See you in Durango

Because Ayn Rand is a shit author no matter how much you agree with her philosophy.

[Anonymous No.8923528]

>>8921645
In terms of ethos of the United States, Ayn Rand is more like the Old Testament, whereas Karl Marx is becoming something of a New Gospel.

[Anonymous No.8923536]

Agreed. Libtards can go back to r eddit if they don't like the truth.

he doesn't say character though right? I thought the like was daemon, so it's like spirit or self, which isn't really changeable by intent
