Trackback Novels

Deacon at Power Line wonders what post Ulysses novels people would read twice. Two come to my mind:

The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand, a philosophical treatise of sufficient depth and interest to warrant several readings. I select it over Atlas Shrugged simply on the basis of the latter's excessive length (and exceedingly small print to boot).

The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett, the epic story of the construction of a medieval cathedral. The book spans generations and tells the tale of the builders, craftsmen, and church leaders as they struggle to erect and control the great structure.

Any other ideas?
