My favorite novel is East of Eden, by John Steinbeck. So, so, so good.
Yup. Rands stuff is good. The F. is her best, tho, for readability IMHO. Tried EoE as a teenager, but couldn't get into it. Maybe should try again, now I am older... had same problem w/Hemingway ::yawn::

A few others:

The Count of Monte Cristo (a guy who could plan LONG TERM!)
The Hornblower books (Forester)
Brave new World (better than 1984, i think)

Oh, & of course, Desirable & Undesirable Characteristics of Offshore Yachts
