1. The Fountainhead - Ayn Rand
Very possibly the most amazing book I've ever read. Published in '43, I believe, story of Rand's vision of the 'ideal man' contrasted with others throughout the story. Very long but intriguing to the very last sentence.
2. Wicked - Gregory Maguire
The source material for my favorite musical ever. Almost a behind-the-scenes on The Wizard of Oz, story of the Wicked Witch of the West. Absolutely stunning.
3. Hunchback of Notre Dame - Victor Hugo
The basis for the Disney animated movie (they skewered the plot but the music was great).
4. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince - JK Rowling
Sixth book in the Harry Potter series which I don't even know that I'd be able to summarize.
5. Atlas Shrugged - Ayn Rand
Lays the basis for Rand's theory of objectivism, which is obvious in the two lead characters.
