Galt's Speech vs. The Objectivist Ethics

[KyaryPamyu]

Which one of these two do you think is the best introduction to Ayn Rand's ideas as a whole? Is it worth reading The Objectivist Ethics if you read Galt's Speech?

[Reidy]

The radio speech goes into more topics than just ethics. On the other hand you ought to read it in the context of the story. The Objectivist Ethics goes into more detail on ethics and how to arrive at ethics ("metaethics" is the technical term for the latter).

If you have time, read the entire novel - as you may already have done - and then move on to The Objectivist Ethics.
