I've never read anything
I've never read anything by Ayn Rand and I only have a basic understanding of objectivism but I do have one, overpowering and decisive argument against both: Bryan Register.Boy howdy, Bob (scroll down to "Gah!")! I didn't know Bryan Register that well (I think I ate lunch with him once in the first semester of my freshman year; I don't remember a ponytail.), so I can't comment on that.
You should read The Fountainhead, and then tackle Atlas Shrugged. The former sat on my nightstand for several years before I made an honest attempt to read it; the latter I picked up immediately after finishing the first. The books are really enjoyable, and you'll probably be surprised by how timely they are (despite having been written 60 and 47 years ago, respectively).
