Also been reading through a variety of Gogol's works. Plays, stories, and I have Dead Souls waiting for me.

I love Gogol so much. A brilliant, zany writer to be sure. Dead Souls is a treat. You should be excited!
Speaking of brilliant, zany writers, I recently plunged into Thomas Pynchon's Mason and Dixon. As far as complexity goes, it's Pynchon most accesible book. It's also probably his best. It's a magnificent, immense, sprawling book that is lucid and insane and honestly a true delight. Pynchon is a masterful writer and, towering as Gravity's Rainbow might be, I feel this book is the one that proves that before his others. It's also interesting to see an obvious source of inspiration for Neil Stephenson's Baroque Cylce which, while certainly less well written than Mason and Dixon, owes it a stylistic debt.

I'm actually not having a go at you for liking Ayn Rand

I guess I'm not allowed to develop an opinion until I reach my 30's, at which point I can logically lurk and post my thoughts on Ayn Rand.
