Ayn Rand, in short

i just finished reading Ayn Rand's early novel Anthem. it was quite enjoyable, nice and short (a hundred pages, compared to her main writings Atlas Shrugged and The Fountainhead which are closer to a thousand pages) and was a very good introduction to her philosophy of obectivism. while Anthem's themes are similar to those of 1984, it's important to note that Anthem was written over a decade before this masterpiece ... quite impressive, in my opinion.
