Thanks everyone. I am a pretty big reader, but I'm not sure I have read any of the books mentioned so far. So, I'm getting a lots of good ideas! I'll be interested an anybody else's recommendations.
It's funny, because the way CatBrat ended up reading Atlas Shrugged is the way I ended up reading the book I really don't like (mentioned in my initial post). In my case, there were two books each person must read. I got Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance (although I understand why others would like it, I am not a big fan) and the Sound and the Fury (which I expect to like quite a bit. He got Tom Jones and Slaughterhouse 5.
