The Fountainhead

One of the 20th century's most challenging novels of ideas, The Fountainhead champions the cause of individualism through the story of a gifted young architect who defies the tyranny of conventional public opinion. The struggle for personal integrity in a world that values conformity above creativity is powerfully illustrated through three characters. Dramatic, poetic, and demanding, The Fountainhead remains one of the towering books on the contemporary intellectual scene.

It starts out strong with high ideas and beautiful language but then strays towards ridiculous. I made it 1/2 way through before I finally gave up at the part where the girl marries another because she can't stand to see how mean the world treats her lover.
