[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]another woman - Ayn Rand[/quote] She wrote philosophy primarily didn't she? Not fiction?[/quote] The Fountainhead certainly contained a heavy dose of her philosophy, but I’d still consider it fiction. I never read Atlas Shrugged, but I think it is also a novelization of her philosophy. A lot of classics were written to convey a specific message, sometimes that’s what makes them a classic. [/quote] Thanks I have a PhD in English literature. I understand what the classics are and how they are defined. I think boiling this huge quantity of literary works down to just "something to convey a specific message" is a very limited take. [/quote]
