I believe you might be missing the "rational self-interest" part, which would address some of your objections.
No, Rand's writing should certainly not be taken as gospel, but then very little out there should be.
In any case, like it or not, Rand is a very influential author, and any 20th century overview, which does not mention her work, would be deficient.
