If you're drawn to complex narratives where philosophy and economy dance together amidst a backdrop of mystery and drama, "Atlas Shrugged" could intrigue you.

It’s a hefty read that’s as much about the strength of the individual as it is a critique of collectivism, and its characters are as monumental as the ideas they embody.
