Could you suggest some philosophers whose works “inspired” Ayn Rand’s works? I would like to go through them.

I haven’t searched too much regarding objectivism and related philosophies, but the top links on google do appear to come from the Ayn Rand Institute.

>> The first half with some stuff on Roark is okay. Once that woman… what’s her name… comes into the picture, the book takes a sharp left to hell and doesn’t come back.

This book is more about Roark, and what was gripping was the sense of honesty and righteousness which he displayed. and lived by. Having read this after “Atlas Shrugged”, I found the latter to be a more involved plot and a better read.
