Will and Ariel Durant's Story of Civilization (book series, I know. But I'm a rebel.)
Anything by Mark Helprin but I'm partial to “A soldier of the Great War” I wanted a fiction book in the three.
Atlas Shrugged should definitely be on the list.
Wow..... another Will Durant FReeper.
Reading the 11 volumes is a big challenge. The work is my constant reference. I have read most if not all.
