I like the virtue of selfishness.

I like the idea, but the book itself is too boring for me to ever finish, I'm afraid.

i have to be in the right mood to read rand, but when i do, i find her extremely interesting.

I guess you're an Objectivist, then. No wonder your opinion of the book seemed to border on religious fervor. Some Objectivists can get pretty worked up about their ideology.

I tend to view most any flavor of zealot with at least a little contempt and/or scorn, even those who, fundamentally, I might agree with.

Don't you find it amusing that Objectivism is basically a *group* devoted to the supremacy of the *individual*? Apparently I'm the only one who thinks that's a contradiction. Ein Volk, Ein Reich, Ayn Rand!
