Currently reading The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand.
This is the second time reading this one and thoroughly enjoying the experience.
Convinced a few people I met through my YouTube channel to read along as well this month so it will be interesting to hear some different thoughts and opinions on it as well.

The Store is a very good book, in my opinion.

My favorite, however, is The Mailman. (Think The Cable Guy without the overt humor. Since I'm somewhat demented in what I find humorous, I find the book hilarious in its implications.)

ADDED: I read Ayn Rand's book years ago and enjoyed it. Although, at 'only' about 1/3 in length compared to Atlas Shrugged, it failed to keep the door open when I created an intentional draft to cool off the house during a hot day.

(I have yet to read Atlas Shrugged, but I do intend to do so.)

I spent six days trying to read this. I abandoned at 75%. It was dull, and I didn't care about the crime, the criminals, or our protagonist. No more!

Then I read Starter Villain by John Scalzi in one go. Brilliant. Just a delightful read.

And now I'm giving Scarlet by Genevieve Cogman a go. A recent freebie, I've enjoyed her Invisible Library series, so I'll ses how her French Revolution with Vampires series starts.

Both of these are on my short list to read as I finish Overcaptain by L.E Modesitt, Jr.

I've got this on my reader but haven't gotten to it yet.

Genevieve Cogman AND the French Revolution AND vampires; how can you go wrong.

Don't laugh, but started reading my Alfred Hitchcock and The Three Investigators books.
They are quick and simple reads.

AMEN! As a lhardcore HHGTTG fan for more than 40 years, I especially loved the dolphins.

A delightful quick read. The other two are now on my wishlist.

Next up: Dead Souls by Ian Rankin. The tenth in his Inspector Rebus series. A random pick from my TBR pile.

I am laughing, but at myself rather than at you. I converted the ones written by Robert Arthur to epubs for myself about ten or more years ago. That's where I learned that proofreading kills my desire to re-read that book for a long time. Hopefully I can join you in re-reading them myself at some point before I die

Another vote for this. An entertaining read.
