Pleased to have landed in the Gulch. I've been reading Rand's non-fiction off and on for a decade and see concepts and themes that resonate from the best of other philosophers. From Aristotle to Nietzsche, Rand's exacting lens corrects mistakes from the history of ideas. That's a reason! Originally from the West Coast, I now reside in the land of Southern Hospitality. I appreciate the enterprising style and relative lack of socialism!
