Thanks guys, I'll check those out!

Hi, I'm looking for some advice from some well read O-ists here, I'm looking for something that will create a world where my political and philosophical opinions are upheld. Something with a protagonist who takes the initiative in the world he's in and changes it for the better with a philosophy which is at least largely O-ist, even if it isn't in name. Obviously the best example of this is Atlas but I'm looking for something a bit broader ideally. When I was younger I used to read books which tried to say that there were complicated and intractable problems in the world. They tended to give "balanced" views of issues and make the reader believe that things could only be solved through co-operation and mutual altruism. These days I just want something that reinforces my O-ist viewpoint rather than socialist and intellectualist propaganda. I thought this would be the best place to find reccomendations like that What I really want is something inspiring, in line with O-ist beliefs, and realistic.

Oh, i of course meant atlas shrugged and the fountainhead. I put them in capitals in the title for extra clarity, but that got changed automatically obviously.

I was just wondering if anyone here knows, and would be willing to tell me (a student becoming interested in objectivism), if there was anywhere to find these 2 books on the internet? Im very interested in reading them and learning more about this particular philosophy, and would greatly appreciate any help Im too poor to buy it myself, and my local library doesnt have a copy, im sure my university library does somewhere, but i cant go back there until near the end of september. Im sure you'll all be eager to help 'spread the word' as it were, and i await your replies thanks Henry
