Ayn Rand, 1905 - 1982 Novelist and philosopher Ayn Rand was born Alice Rosenbaum on February 2, 1905 in St. Petersburg, Russia. She graduated with highest honors in history from the University of Petrograd in 1924, and she came to the United States in 1926 with dreams of becoming a screenwriter. In 1929, she married actor Charles "Frank" O'Connor. After arriving in Hollywood, Rand was spotted by Cecil B. DeMille standing at the gate of his studio and gave her a job as an extra in King of Kings. She also worked as a script reader and a wardrobe girl and, in 1932, she sold Red Pawn to Universal Studios. In the 1950's, she returned to New York City where she hosted a Saturday night group she called "the collective." It was also during this time that Rand received a fan letter from a young man, Nathaniel Branden. She was impressed with his letter, and she wrote him back. Her correspondence with him eventually led to an affair that lasted over a decade. He became her chief spokesperson and codified the principles of her novels into a strict philosophical system (objectivism) and founded an institute bearing his name. Their affair ended in 1968 when Branden got involved with another one of Rand's disciples. According to Rand, people are inherently selfish and act only out of personal interest making a selfish act, a rational one. It is from this belief that her characters play out their lives. Rand's first novel was "We the Living" (1936) and was followed by "Anthem" (1938), "The Fountainhead" (1943), and "Atlas Shrugged" (1957). All four of her novels made the top ten of the controversial list of the 100 Best Novels of the 20th Century. On March 6, 1982, Ayn Rand died in her New York City apartment.

评分《如何阅读一本书》初版于1940年,1972年大幅增订改写为新版。不论什么时候读,都不能不叹服作者对阅读用心之深,视野之广。不懂阅读的人,初探阅读的人,读这本书可以少走冤枉路。对阅读有所体会的人,读这本书可以有更深的印证和领悟。这是一本有关阅读的永不褪色的经典。 每本书的封面之下都有一套自己的骨架,作为一个分析阅读的读者,你的责任就是要找出这个骨架。一本书出现在你面前时,肌肉包着骨头,衣服包裹着肌肉,可说是盛装而来。你用不着揭开它的外衣或是撕去它的肌肉,才能得到在柔软表皮下的那套骨架。但是你一定要用一双X光般的透视眼来看这本书,因为那是你了解一本书、掌握其骨架的基础。
