On Facebook this weekend, a thread about favorite novels turned into an Ayn Rand-fest. Lots of other favorites showed up from NRO readers: The Great Gatsby, Les Miserables, Pride and Prejudice had a presence. There was some George Orwell and Isaac Bashevis Singer made an appearance, among others.

For more reading suggestions, our summer-reading symposium is never dated. Especially given summer isn’t over. (Here is Part I. Here is Part II.)

And speaking of Whittaker Chambers …. more on that later.
