The Fountainhead & Atlas Shrugged

[angus]

I read Atlas Shrugged about ten years ago.  I found it to be slow, at first, but about halfway through it gets more interesting.  I suppose it's a bit like the movies "Malcolm X" and "Titanic" in the sense that it's a little too long, but not a bad read.

The Fountainhead was much better, in my opinion.  It's also very long, but it has less fluff.  It's good for the non-conformist in you.  At first glance, it is a story of one man and his struggles as an architect against a successful rival, but the book addresses deeper issues.  If you only read one of these two books, let it be Fountainhead.
