I’ve read several books in the Objectivists library, including Atlas shrugged, the fountainhead, and the virtue of selfishness.

For a certain kind of person, I do think they have value in showing a different ethical/moral framework. To wit, if you have been raised on the principal that you must always sacrifice your own happiness for others, then Onjectivist philosophy is quite novel and can actually be helpful in moving towards a more self-actualized thought mode.

For most others, however, it can turn you into a raging a-hole.

In terms of how tenable the overall principles are in practice, just remember that Rand herself went on social security.

Creation of embryos should happen entirely outside the body of the female, followed by decapitation of the male as God intended.

That’s pretty much it. There was a WSJ article about this very thing: frequent flyer miles are more based on spending with the airline CC then by actually flying.
