The FountainHead

This is the title of the book i m presently reading. i am such an otiose creature to say sthg abt this classic but even then i felt like writing abt the few pages i have gone through.

Such an engrossing book right from the first page where our protagonist thinks over. I personally like the character of Howard Roark who follows himself and not what other tell him to do and what traditions have been. But is it really possible, i mean practical or realistic existence of such character.

Take our own lives for example, our careers are more or less forced upon us. Something that our parents want us to be or result of peer pressure or sthg else. How many of us can actually boast of careers that they love? Exceptions apart, count will be very few.
Will definitely talk about the book more when i am done with it.
