Reading a book right now titled The Fountainhead written by Ayn Rand

I enjoy creativity, and more importantly I find that it is a very necessary thing for human life in all aspects spirtual, physical, mental, etc...
This book has challenged much of what I thought creativity and art is or should be.

The premise (inspiring the title) of the book is that man (woman) is the "fountainhead" of progress, something I struggle with because it also seems that we are the "fountainhead" of digression as well
I once read a C.S. Lewis series that was called the Space Trilogy. He also dealt with this idea of progress but in a much more apocalyptic sort of way. I think I would like to look at progress through the creative process because this is something I understand to some degree, I'm just not sure what the end product is. I don't know where it leads...

more thoughts forthcoming on completion of the book
