I read some Rand as a teenager, & liked it enough. I read Anthem later, & really liked it.
Given our current politics, I thought I‘d give this a try. It‘s been on my shelves forever.
But when your opening argument is to use your own character as a model for your philosophy, I can‘t take you seriously. I even skimmed a few of the other chapters. Perhaps individualism is a fair personal philosophy. But it‘s no way for a society to thrive.

In a free society, one does not have to deal with those who are irrational. One is free to avoid them.

There is nothing I value more than these girls. Love to see them play and learn. If the bath water isn't black they didn't play outside enough.
