Reading "Uncommon Type: Some Stories" by Tom Hanks. Quite a nice read, he's a good writer as well as actor.

A re-read or first time?

I'm a sucker for pop-culture references and the trailer was rife with them. Not to mention that version of pure imagination in the trailer, that was amazing. I'm not convinced it'll be good, but I've heard great things about the book (i'm about 5 chapters in and it's enjoyable so far)
I read The Fountainhead when I was 19. It was a good read. Solid plot, and some interesting philosophy.
I began to read Atlas Shrugged at 28 or something, but could only make it 250 pages before it became a job. It was Fountainhead all over again, and I had already read that book...
I'm glad I read Fountainhead when I did. The older I get the more I have no time for books that are thinly disguised homilies.
