Virtue of Selfishness

Virtue of Selfishness by Ayn Rand, 173 pages

Having enjoyed Atlas Shrugged I had been wanting to read more of Rand for some time. Since I hit a lull in my current readings I decided to try it. I was very disappointed with this book. Not only were most of the arguments and ideas already hashed out in Atlas Shrugged but Rand had a tendency to quote directly from it instead of rearguing the ideal. This didn't just happen in a couple of the arguments but nearly every single one. I guess if you have never read Atlas Shrugged or never managed to make it to the end, then this could help sum up parts of it. But overall I think this book was pretty pointless.
