My Time with Ayn

I finally finished the book. Roark's speech at his second trial became a little tedious. As a cheerleader for my profession, I can understand his steadfast adherence to his ideal's and standards of behavior. I tend to be a little on the severe side. After a couple of pages of his speech, however, I was a little weary. Nevertheless, I didn't want Roark to compromise and I'm glad he got the girl in the end. Is Rand spinning in her grave that, for me, her complex objectivist tome boils down to a stubborn idealist getting the girl?
