Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand is $2.99 at Amazon US.
Profound if you read it as a teen. Otherwise it is pretty awful. I've tried it twice and just can't get past the first few hundred pages. Still, it's an important book to many and for better or worse has had a lasting impact on many U.S. politicians. Quote:

I’m sticking this in fiction because it’s about literature, although technically it’s non-fiction.
Curiosities in Literature: A Feast for Book Lovers by John Sutherland, a book of literary trivia, is on sale for $1.99. I’ve read other books by Sutherland about puzzling issues in the classics and they’re both fun and erudite. https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/cur...-literature-75 https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B004ULMJ7C/ https://play.google.com/store/books/..._of_Literature |

When Christ and His Saints Slept is the first in Penman's series about that amazingly dysfunctional family, the Plantagenets. It has dropped to $2.99 at Kindle and Kobo US. It's normally $11.99 and doesn't go on sale much, so grab it now if you want it!
