THE AYN RAND LEXICON brings together all the key ideas of her philosophy of Objectivism.

"Having read Rand previously I was already well-versed in her philosophy. This, however, is a good book for someone new to her or looking for her opinions on certain topics ranging from metaphysics to ballet. Be warned that being a lexicon, you'll have to study it carefully to understand her language where it regards the thoughtful sections of her philosophy. Many would not bother reading this, already turned off perhaps by the scathing terms her critics have for her, but something I've found with Rand is that most of what is said of her in that regard tends to be blatant misrepresentation. Indeed, in television interviews, she herself stated as much."
"I liked reading this because it made me feel smart and I agree with lots of the ideas in it. Just being honest. But I really didn't have the vocabulary to keep up."
