I suspected that!

I read Atlas Shrugged for the first time within the last year, on the suggestion of my boyfriend. I also identified strongly with Dagny's character.

I spent a LOT of time being pissed off while reading that book ... I would scream "BUT THAT'S NOT FAIR!!!" at particularly tense moments.

I'm trying to read some more of Ayn Rand's books. I just finished Anthem which also affected me strongly. Any other suggestions? I think I have a copy of The Fountainhead in my book closet, but I haven't seen it in a couple of years, so I may have to buy another one.
