There are some books that I will re-read over and over. Atlas Shrugged is definitely one of those books. The first time I read it was I was about 14 and I re-read it about every 5 years. I will admit that now I skip a lot of the beginning -- it is a slow start, but the tedious beginning is important in meeting the characters. Also on my list is Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert Heinlein, which I discovered about the same time (also a slow start).
