7. I recommend "Anthem", a short but poignant and thought-provoking read
I've also read "The Fountainhead", "Atlas Shrugged" and "We the Living". I never really bought into or fully understood what Rand was trying to tell us, but liked her characters, especially the strong women. I was awfully young back then, of course. I still re-read "Anthem" now and then, a rather chilling look at the future as Ayn envisioned it.

Don't be ashamed. Enjoy the book and be glad we're still free to read what we want...for now, anyhow!
