Mid teenage I think. Most freshman I know of are already moving on to irony, magic realism, and pot, but not in that order.

I had to read Anthem for a class. I pretty much missed all the political stuff in it, and rather I was interested in the romantic parts. I like that much of it. The rest was mildly intriguing as a story. Had I been aware of the Objectivism I probably wouldn't have liked it as much.
Lines:
This thread makes me kind of happy to have never read Ayn Rand. Now I know I probably never will, and am still content.

i read the fountainhead. i liked it because i liked the story and a couple of the characters. i didn't try to think about it and its deeper meaning though. i don't read much fiction, so when i do it is purely for fun, not for thinking.

I've got a question about the Fountainhead, actually.
At some other forum, Rand came up and some people dismissed her because supposedly, in the Fountainhead, a female character is sexually assaulted but is written as though she enjoys it (an extremely submissive character) I don't know the context of the passage or if it's even there, but it seems pretty damning on its face.
