Drama. Intrigue. Romance. No, we're not talking about the latest episode of The Apprentice. We're talking about real, live literature. Fast Company put together a list of literature for the working man (and woman) -- the best novels for business -- drawing on readers' input.

Forget the business fables and allegories, we're looking for additional page-turners that make the leap from the bedside table to the boardroom table. Ayn Rand? Danielle Steel? What works of fiction have informed and inspired your career choices? We want the books that wind up quoted on cubicle walls and in email signatures. Send us your picks -- including the title and author -- and give us the skinny on why you think they ought to be on any businessperson's summer reading list.

Thanks. And remember: "Whatever their future, at the dawn of their lives, men seek a noble vision of man's nature and of life's potential." (The Fountainhead, 1943)
