The Fountainhead
Started listening to "The Fountainhead" by Ayn Rand. I had heard a lot about this book, but, it's size always scared me. It is so much easier to 'read' anything with audible.com.
I already don't like Howard Roark. He seems like an arrogant bastard. Let's see if the rest of the book changes this first impression of the main character of the novel.

You are missing the point. He reflects idealistic individualism...a deep-rooted belief in the self. I suggest, you don't judge him too early in the book.

Translation: He's an arrogant bastard.
