[PhillipMarlow]

I haven't contributed much to WF since I got here besides a few lols and tits. I may or may not have mentioned before that I wanted to be a writer/actor so I never really paid much attention to math/science/business/making monies. That was pre-08 crash. Since then I've been working on it. Still learning, testing, etc. Still kind of want to do the Hollywood thing. We'll see. But I thought I'd share some of the books I'd picked up along the way.

The Fountainhead - Ayn Rand

As a fiction title, I think's worth including.
