I've got muscles, so I want to use them. I get up in the morning, pose naked in front of the mirror, and flex for half an hour. Looking at myself, I want to beat someone's head in with my bare fist. I want to see my fist forced down some asshole's face, reach down, grab a handful of intestines, and pull them up and out
the throat. That would make me feel good. Whatever makes me feel good is what counts. The reason I build my muscles is to use them. That makes me feel good. It'd be senseless to work out for years just for the
stupid satisfaction of feeling "healthy" or knowing I look good when I'm about to fuck somebody up the ass. I get satisfaction out of grinding a face in the pavement. I don't want to question it. I like causing pain. That's how I am. I see an immediate response to
something I just did. No bullshit. Pure animal pain, me the victor, me in control, me on top, you on the bottom. I never allow myself to be in the position of feeling pain. I'll do anything to avoid pain. I'll run, humiliate myself, betray
a so-called friend, anything. In order to decrease the possibility of pain, I'm never threatening in public. I obscure myself. I don't show off my muscles. I'm soft
spoken. I don't need to impress anyone. I couldn't care less what they think of me. All I want is satisfaction. I get it when I need it. I cultivate it like a hard-on, stroke it, build it up to bursting, then, when I'm ready,
I find somebody to fuck with. Somebody to destroy, somebody to ruin. I brutalize them, then I fuck them. But they can't be "into" it, they can't be some wimpy masochist getting rid of their lame authoritarian guilt. They have to honestly be scared, maybe even think
they're strong. That's when it feels good.

That's when it feels good, when some pompous turd feels my boot in their eye, or their ribs breaking under the impact of
my fist, my big fucking sledgehammer fist snapping their ribs like matchsticks, then my cock fucking them in every hole they've got, my come mixing with their stinking blood. Yeah, I turn on thinking about it. I'm just now pulling on my cock. I'm imagining my meat in your toothless mouth right now. I'm shooting
a gallon down your throat. You're vomiting a thin green liquid into my lap, then I kill you for that mistake. I twist your head right off your weak neck for that mistake. I kill you like the worthless chicken you are right there and then, then I fuck you some more. Later, I eat your sour brains and throw your corpse out with the garbage. Now you're perfect. You're
doing what you do best: you're dead. I used you. I fucked you. I wiped you off the face of this rancid earth. My main goal in life is my pleasure, and that made me feel good.

Ayn rand was a cunt and her most recognised book is shit. Also shes fucking ugly for anyone to even pay attention to her. 0/10 would not even bother calling her disgusting

I have Ayn Rand on my reading list, but haven't got around to it yet. I think if someone evokes so much emotion in so many different people then their work is worth your attention as well.

I would really be interested to hear why some of you dislike her work so much. It seems like she triggers people no matter their political beliefs.

Because it's logically flawed, it's pretty much a consensus in philosophy circles that her work just isn't very good. She establishes that one ought to be concerned for themselves first, which is justfiable, but then makes the unjustified assumption everyone being concerned for themselves first must actually result in optimal society, because muh natural order. She then adds the bandaid of property rights having to be respected, even if it is not in my personal self-interest, because uhhh well she has no reason to say this other than because it is in her own interest for them to exist because she's a meek woman that benefits from them. It's just shoddy work all around. The cringy erotica doesn't help one bit. It's a real shame she's the most known female philosopher, she gives them a very bad name.

I greatly suggest reading Max Stirner first, his take on egoism is actually internally consistent. Rand is still worth reading once just to confirm how garbage her work is at some point though, but i wouldn't rush it.

>/fit/core books
Its not a personality, its not a religion, its a hobby. And a very straightforward one as well. Youre implying that being /fit/ overlaps with the weird nu-fash wave of internet aesthetics that are confusedly placed between libertarianism and ethnostate shenanigans. Nobody likes atlas shrugged. Nobody really reads atlas shrugged (unfortunately I have). Its not a good book from a literary standpoint and its not meaningful in any philosophical way. Atlas shrugged is genuinely a meme. You just think its a book for strong manly men and surely you lifting must mean youre developing into a strong manly man. Its not even a proper political stance in these days. You want to know about /fit/core literature? Read the things you enjoy reading. If that is atlas shrugged then good for you buddy but going to the gym simply isnt that much of an ideology. The best books for you are the ones you like and where you can learn something about yourself as a human. Just read nigga and enjoy it. Stop trying to fit your taste or personality into an inforgraphic.
>I’m sick of lists of books. Reading lists, top tens, flowcharts, curriculums, canons, counter-canons, the lot. Pathetic activity. Someone could write out the name of every single book I really love, ranked impeccably, with no omissions and no interpolations, and I’d spit cold venom in their face. I think the only way to read with dignity is to read organically, genealogically, backwards, by touch. Not running down a list, but excavating, following the seams where words bleed into each other.

She's just not a good writer; everything literary is compromised to further her economic dogma, which, more than being distasteful to me (which alone doesn't make a writer not worth reading), is simply not very interesting. She's worth a quick read just to know what her deal was, since she was in fact important (I'd encourage you all to read Marx, Hitler, etc. for the same reason), but her short works are all you need; try Anthem or just skip to her essays. I don't think people would have nearly such a bone to pick with a book like Atlas Shrugged if not for the blatant excess of the length- at a thousand pages you could have sunk that time into Proust or Shikibu or Gaddis or any number of subtler and more stylish writers instead. Anyone who says AS or TF is his favorite book can safely be assumed to just agree with Rand's positions, since it's not like there are great characters or beautiful sentences to savor, and such people tend to be overconfident, boorish, and ironically detrimental to any system to which they attach themselves.

Her books are the literary equivalent of a war film that paints one side as good guys and the other as bad: you might enjoy it if you're a nationalist for whatever side is painted as good, but if you're anyone else in the world it's an irritating, vacuous experience. That film at least might have some fun action scenes to offer, and is over in a few short hours; imagine how unlikeable it would become when transformed to a literary doorstopper whose fans think they're smarter than (You) for having endured it, even if they've never read another book in their lives.

Just play Bioshock, you will get the same grip on her ideas, but with a more realistic conclusion of their implentation and you also get to beat the shit out of mutants with a wrench instead of suffering through poorly written smut.

>>77213675
Her career as an author has this really bizarre arc to it where she actually becomes less proficient as a novelist across time, because her true calling was always as an essayist and as she gets better at being one the trouble of having to try to write actual human beings living out actual interesting stories increasingly gets in the way of that.

You do not know what "ham-fisted" really means until you've read Ayn Rand. By the time she does Atlas Shrugged, it's gotten so bad that the book is literally just a single character delivering a 90-page-long speech with a thousand pages of, "I've depicted myself as an indomitable community of strong-jawed gigachads and you as sniveling bureaucrats, lmao," written around it to justify the event happening.

Her philosophy is essentially just Nietzsche crammed through the filter of the Soviet Materialism she was indoctrinated in as a student. She doesn't really add anything, just takes pieces of it away until it's accessible to people who just want an excuse to be obsessed with their jobs.

>>77213462
Ayn Rand's "philosophy" was basically just chad worship. "I wish all these stupid icky creeps would just fuck off and die so I could be with a Real Man like chad from my novel". The only good thing about her shitty books is that they serve as a glimpse into the mind of the average woman.

you can tell its written by a woman. it starts all cool talking about trains, steel and enterprise but then the second half is Rand's self insert character hopping from cock to cock, in the flashback chapter you can practically hear her strumming while she was typing. "oh Francisco d'Anconia tell me more about your father's copper mine while we frolic on the beach as teenagers"

pic related is peak chad, bounces around the empire fucking natives. sure he's a coward but so are you

How did this thread turn from talking about books to licking a dead hypocrite's cunt?

She makes a reasonable critique of leftists and collectivists, which they have never forgiven her for, and then real dumb /pol/ types who can't get over her Jewishness hate her.
She's fine. Not the best but worth reading.

The Fountainhead is a slightly better read.
Also, the old Tarzan books are good.

>>77213808
of course but people think at the bottom of a must-read list is wisdom even when the words read just go in one ear (eye?) and out the other and nothing is retained because nothing is thought about except for a few highlighted quotes that sound good

>>77214583
How you learn new movements is covered quite well in the inner game of tennis. Also why get a for dummies anatomy book and not a serious anatomy book? I guess it would be similar, but still
