Nonetheless, I do recommend Ayn Rand's Fountainhead or Atlas Shrugged, though with a certain hesitation -- some of the basic libertarian concepts are very interesting. (And the dialogue -- particularly in the romantic sex scenes -- often has an amusing "camp" value, if nothing else.)

But as with marijuana, it's best to consume Rand's writing only in small doses, and not too often, or else you might rot your brain, children!!
