I've been reading the Dark Tower series by Stephen King. I'm on the 2nd part out of 7, and I bought all of the books. I'm really into this, and think it's written wonderfully.

For me - Right now, at this moment...The BIBLE

ISAIAH 45:1

Talks about how GOD will go before us to make all things right.

Try reading it tonight. I guarantee the best nights sleep you have ever had.

The Dropoff by Patrick Quinlan.  Great crime novel. Would be a good one to adapt to script.

Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand

I figured if I'm going to have to spend the next three to seven years listening to right wing nitwits who've never read it quoting it, I might as well read it so I know what they're misquoting.  

It's not as godawful as I thought it would be.  I really love the tone of it, especially in the beginning.  Decay in the streets.  Vaguely ominous, but no one can quite put their finger on it.  The "detective" story is pretty obvious, all though that might just be because of what I alraedy knew going onto it.  

Anyway, it's a wierd mix.  Story wise, some of it is really good.  But she makes her arguments with all the subtly of a Michael Moore movie.  WHich is no problem, because I like Michal Moore.  It's just ironic that the wingnuts who whine about his propaganda love Ayn Rands just as blatant propaganda.

Quoted from Grandma Bear Ayn Rand's books are on our bookshelves. Everyone but me has read them all. She's a Libertarian not a right wing  nut... They do tend to take selected pieces out of context to quote though. Just wanted to clarify in case someone thought she was a right wing person.

Good point!

And she started in Hollywood as a screenwriter!  So libertarin or conservative, she was clearly a deviant!
