A lot of people seem to like Atlas shrugged. I am a Libertarian, and -- believe it or not -- I am not a big fan of that one. However, The Fountainhead is much better fiction, much less ridiculous, and gets most of the same points across. So if you liked Atlas, I think you'll probably prefer Fountainhead.
As for my favorite? As far as novels are concerned. . . Gee. . . It's a tough choice, but stepping away from the "novel" criteria I really liked reading Measure for Measure, or for that matter any of Shakespeare's dark comedies. Interestingly, I don't really like watching them being performed. I like other dark comedies too. Chances are, if it's dark, and if it's a comedy. . . I like it.
No one ever mention Dalton Trumbo on these types of threads. Why is that? Johnny Got his Gun is an excellent novel turn movie turn Metallica video backdrop. Its one of my alltime favorites.

As for more intellectual fare, Catch 22, Slaughterhouse 5, and Brave New World spring to mind.
My upcoming hitlist includes The Narnia Chronicles, Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. Working my through a few classics
