I'm very happy to have landed in the Gulch... I have read each and every one of Rand's works (including all nonfiction). I am currently working on a novel of my own which centers on Randian-type heroes but delves more deeply into their inner worlds and personality quirks. I am very interested in starting discussions about how Objectivism can evolve to more clearly outline how one can best live in reality. I find that Rand's character profiles and epistemology fall slightly short in painting detailed pictures of human life -- AKA, a human life which wants to become heroic but feels overwhelmed with the world as it is and unsure of how to bring about the world as it could be. I want to explore the "Human" side of being an Objectivist for the sake of providing a better and more comprehensive outline for how one might rationally navigate reality.
