    Atlas Shrugged definitely.

    Should be manditory reading in high school (not that you'd find many high school administrators who wouldn't spontaneously combust if they came within 20 feet of the book) :smokin:

    Atlas Shrugged was an optional book pick for a mandatory reading project in my 11th grade honor's English class.

    Jack London Fans:

    White Fang (audiobook) by Jack London is available FREE today on Sync. http://www.audiobooksync.com/free-syn-downloads/

    You need to also have OverDrive media downloaded to play it.

    I also downloaded a free copy of the book from Amazon to read along with the audiobook. I mainly did this for my kids, because they will sit and listen to audiobooks for a very long time. :-)
