I read The Fountain Head in my final year of engineering....when I had doubts about my career ....when I could not decide what field to pursue...or what career to opt for...and then I understood....when u read the book the initial reaction is that the second character Peter Keating is so right...he does things which we would do and roark seems so stupid and rigid....but down the line u understand the principle of the whole thing...
The beauty of fountain and the reason why it is immortal is the fact that is not based on personalities but principles and thats wat makes it undecaying and immortal...also the theme of the story is so correct and so precise that it realy makes the reading a pleasure...the potrayal of dominique is excellent ...no wonder this novel is not completed by a mass of humanity who reads it...cos it appeals to charachters which are free from birth...a second hander can neither understand nor appreciate the novel ....my fav line...
