Posted that right before me. Sorry.

You've read Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged? Thanks for telling me they're good. I just bought them to read to write an essay for a scholarship contest. Now I'm not so scared to pick them up.

Texts... you can make your own .txts from the open source material, again if you like the classics. If it's over 75 years old, it's free use and you can find it online. I have texts from each of Marx's books and George Orwell, but you can find a lot more. There are online copies of Kafka, The Prince, etc. Just google it, and you can copy/paste it into a text document if they don't have it formatted that way already. And don't think you're breaking the law either, if they are that old it's legal (however, more modern stuff still has rights attached to it).
