I've never read Fountainhead or Atlas Shrugged. Should I? Is there a recommended sequence?

Weird that I have read so many books, but nothing by Ayn Rand.

FWIW, I recommend Fountainhead first, Atlas second - this is also the order in which they were written -- nm - rollo Jan 9, 15:06
Forget about both of them and just read "The Source" by James A. Michener. -- nm - Trish Jan 9, 14:53
i tried to read fountainhead but only got a couple hundred in. i've heard it's an easier read than atlas shrugged, though. - kare Jan 9, 14:49 5

  - I *did* give up. Glad I got through it on the second try, years later. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jan 9, 14:56 3

I haven't read Fountainhead either... but will swing by the used bookstore today. Atlas is mandatory, mandatory. But I defer to others as to sequence -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jan 9, 14:48 1
- Agreed...it's mandatory. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 9, 14:49
