Mark Twain, Scott Fitzgerald, Thomas Macaulay, William Manchester and lately John Steinbeck. Twain is THE American. And some of Fitzgerald's phrases still give me chills (Last Tycoon - just a draft but wow!)
Read Pirsig twice and it is the best link between mechanical things and thought.
Have never read Rand.
Enjoy the thought of Hemingway as a way of life more than his writing. Similar life was Teddy Roosevelt, and his autobiography is quite good.
Sitting on a Grant biography that Mark Twain had a hand in but haven't read it yet.
