I took a quick look at a description of the book on the internet and jumped to the conclusion that it was philosophical. My bad. Also, I actually am enjoying the fountainhead. I'm not quite halfway through, but so far it's really just like any other novel, i.e., no explicit message to it. But, in my opinion, the writing is good and the characters are interesting. Evidently not everyone here agrees, but that's why they call it an opinion.
