Well (I'm going to pretend all these other posts don't exist), some of you will be pleased to find out that I've finally begun reading the Foutainhead, by Ayn Rand. I've had the dern book for about a year and I'm only getting around to it now. I'm not sure I can pick out any specific passages that I like yet, but I like that the descriptions are very architectural. She clearly consulted real architects before writing it.

I haven't been able to get too far into the Fountainhead yet because I've been busy reading books for my Human Diversity course. The main one currently is Guns, Germs and Steel by Jared Diamond. It's basically a historical account of pre-history. The development of ancient man through social, not scientific language. It basically tries to explain why some cultures became so much more advanced than others. Right now I'm reading about the development of farming. Yipee.
