I'm surprised at how many of these books I've read including The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand. You have to question a list that would have a Rand book listed twice in it's top 10. The words aren't worth wiping you ass on! I hope she's burning in hell along with her propaganda!! Other than that, not a bad list. :)
