The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand
While I don’t agree with 100% of everything that Ayn Rand has written, I do think striving for independent excellence is a fine and beneficial pursuit (actually I think Ayn Rand would be disappointed if anyone agreed with her 100% as she emphasizes individual thoughts and opinions).
The characters in this story make a few decisions that I found hard to believe. Besides that, I enjoyed following Howard Roark and witnessing his unbreakable resolve.
5/5 stars.
