I've heard The Fountainhead is great. Is it worth it?

I'd really recommend something about a pirate captain or rogueish nobleman from Mills and Boon before The Fountainhead. Or a biography of Frank Lloyd Wright.

The prose in either would be better, and the plot the same.

If only she'd stayed in Soviet Russia long enough to be purged by Stalin.
