Random House's Modern Library List of 100 Best Books has two lists - the Board's List and the Reader's List. The top two books on the Reader's List are Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged and The Fountainhead. (There are two more Rand books in the top 10.) The third book is L. Ron Hubbard's Battlefield Earth.
Compare that of course to the Board's List top three: James Joyce's Ulysses, Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby, and Joyce's Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man."
