Books I haven't read

[nwhyte]

I tried this last year, and it proved rather a useful guide to books I might like to read during the year. So, this is the list of unread books on my shelves (excluding, rather arbitrarily, Doctor Who and Shakespeare): which of these have you read?

For Ayn Rand's work, I would actually not recommend The Fountainhead, even though it contains one of the greatest villains ever invented.

If you want a quick Ayn Rand summary "hit", you read "Anthem", which is very short. If you want the full Ayn Rand thinking in the best fictional form she could manage it, you read Atlas Shrugged. "Fountainhead" lies uncomfortably between the two.

Yeah, it's a question of what is on my shelves at the moment, so I think I'll try The Fountainhead anyway since it has the virtue of availability. Then maybe the others, if I think I can bear it.
