My favorite is still, Atlas Shrugged. Check it out, if you have not already.
I need to reread her works. Maybe the book club will force it on me.

I loved both works as well. Unfortunately such idealism doesn't work too well in real life (I was naive enough to try for a while).

Also, while I like Rand's simple writing style, it's often rather redudant -- numerous incidents illustrating the same moral principle.

I've taken the 6 and life insurance exam and those are nothing compared to what I'm going through right now.

No need to bring up the CPA exam. Sherdog is supposed to be a happy place, and I'll be eligible to take that exam in a few weeks. I'm not looking forward to it.

I just picked up Rules of Prey and tore through it like steak. Thanks for the recommendation.
