I did a post below on my favorite movies and have been meaning to do the same with books. Here they are. My top five in no preferential order. Light in August Faulkner was a literary genius, particularly in capturing…
Atlas Shrugged Ayn Rand’s objectivism is probably the only philosophy I subscribe to. Very capitalist. Very awesome. Happens to be wrapped up in a pretty good story, too, but I wouldn’t say her writing is superb.
