Thanks for the book recommendation Sara, I checked out The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand from the library this afternoon. I'll start on it as soon as I'm done with Alice's adventures in Wonderland. I'll postpone Through the looking-glass until later.

Funny sidenote; while looking around online for an eBook version of The Fountainhead, I came across this:
Now that's quite an accomplishment. Considering Al Franken was born in May of 1951 and The Fountainhead was first published in April of 1952. Now that's what I call prenatal planning! I wonder what the real Ayn Rand, born in St Petersburg in 1905, would think about her name being called a pseudonym?
