There's just something about them that I can't stomach.
The only thing by Rand I've been able to read all the way through is a play called _The Night of January 16th_ for which I did a sound design (which the director inexplicably didn't use*). I was not very impressed by the play either. It's basically a courtroom drama where 12 people are plucked out of the audience at the beginning of the play to function as jurors, and at the end they get to deliberate and come to a verdict.
While this is an interesting concept, Rand's execution is really dull. She gives us no reason to care about any of the characters, and she is also disrespectful of the audience. No matter what verdict the audience/jury makes, the character of the judge is supposed to act like it's the stupidest judgement he's ever heard.
Nope, I don't think you could call me a fan of Rand...

You could have waited three days to tell us about it.

Now you've spoiled it.
I've read Atlas Shrugged. While there were lots of pages I glossed over, I though it was okay.
