Let me start by saying that no author has influenced me and my direction in life more than Ayn Rand. The 3 must reads are Atlas Shrugged, The Fountainhead and last, smallest and probably the most profound, Anthem.

Right wing propaganda? No way. To understand Objectivism as taught by Ayn Rand you would understand that what is presented here is the opposite of political dogma... it is the pursuit of ones own morals and desires simply for the sake of oneself. It is neither right or left wing. From Ayn Rand I quote: "No party today stands for America's founding principles in a manner with which an Objectivist could agree, and the likelihood is that supporting any party would imply your sanction of immoral principles."
