Atlas Shrugged should be required reading for citizenship/voting privileges (sorta kidding) along with Animal Farm and 1984.

Read it while driving around Zimbabwe in 2000, when they were kicking farmers off their land. Read a section, look around and see it happening.

That said, I think she got paid by the word.

Mody Dick by Herman Melville.

As Ron Sawnson from Parks and Recreation said, "It's just a book about a man that hates an animal."



I'm actually re-reading it right now. Love it.
