The Fountain Head and Atlas Shrugged. Changed my life and made me stop worrying about the naysayers or being jealous of people who've acheived stuff.

C+ quality thread.

You can do better /lit/

Dear OP. I would recommend you the following titles:
"War and Peace" by Lev Tolstoy
"Crime and Punishment" by Fiodor Dostoyevsky
"The Pillars of Earth" by Ken Follet if I am not mistaken.

If you like fantasy then of course you should read LOTR, Silmarilion and Hobbit by J. R. R Tolkien (in case you do not know who wrote this). I think that you would also enjoy the Discworld series by Sir Terry Pratchett, especially books featuring City Watch

The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling

Most of Kipling's stuff is good, but that is just really entertaining.
