Have very few memories of reading any novels. Infact I can remember 2 for sure.

Around the world in 80 days. (required book report)

The Bridge on the River Kwai (I saw the movie so it motivated me to read the book on my own).

Pretty much only read non-fiction.

Excellent choices.

Unfortunately, I hear they are trying to make a film adaptation of Atlas Shrugged with Angelina Jolie as Dagny and Brad Pitt as John Galt. I find that to be viciously ret*d.
