definitely the Fountainhead...not a quick read, more like you have to read 10 pages at a time and let them sink in before you move on. If you like books that are character driven then you will enjoy this one and get a lot out of it, but if you're into action it's probably not for you.

Anyway, get A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole. I also recommend Lermontov's A Hero of Our Time and Turgenev's Fathers and Sons.

Good call. That's a fine novel. Also, Joseph Heller's stuff is good; I recommend his short stories, which can be found in the book Catch as Catch can.
