Because of how impressed I was with The Fountainhead, I was really looking forward to Atlas Shrugged. I have already read The Fountainhead last year and was one of my best reads in 2016. Through an online seller, I was able to avail two of Rand’s works, The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged. Although she only wrote four novels, she is immensely popular amongst the current day literatis. One of these authors I have never heard of before is Ayn Rand. Through these challenges, I’ve encountered authors I have never heard of like Salman Rushdie, Milan Kundera, and Thomas Hardy, among others. This made me realize how vast the world of literature is. It got me initiated into the even more wonderful world of classics and must-read books. However, my perspective began changing when I began doing list challenges. Back then, I felt like I was doing a great job as a reader because of what I perceived to be diversity in my reading selections. Steel, whose 42 books I’ve already read, remains to be my most read author. Sheldon remains to be my favorite author because it was through his works that I discovered the wonderful world of books. My reading was once limited to more popular, contemporary authors like Mary Higgins-Clark, Sidney Sheldon, Danielle Steel, and Nora Roberts.
