Not a philosophy I like but I love the stamp, clever.
ReplyDeleteI've never read her books, so I don't know. But the design of the stamp is very appealing to me.
DeleteI remember enjoying the Fountainhead ... but I was young and most of her philosophy went right over my head. Once I knew about it, I was slightly appalled that I liked her works. But I do love this stamp. (art deco!)
ReplyDeleteOne doesn't need to like her philosophy to appreciate the stamp... :)
DeleteI read Atlas Shrugged twice as an adult and it was over my head!
ReplyDeleteTwice? It's a really long book!
Deleteactually once reading it. The first time before that was hearing it as an audio book on a long drive to Arizona from Seattle. Pretty much took the whole drive to hear it all!
ReplyDeleteI believe that :)
DeleteI have heard of her but not read any of her books. A mesmerising stamp.
ReplyDeleteSame as me.
DeleteThe stamp design make me think more of the 1960s than the 1990s. I also have not read her work.
ReplyDeleteI think you are right. Somehow, the design reminds me one exhibition about Soviet art...
DeleteYes, it does have that look to it.
