This post might not trend any and Im sure there are a ton of smart conservatives on this forum. We need to get a recommended books topic on here. I'll start with listing a few novels and links to their goodreads.com pages. If anyone else wants to chime in and list some good books that deal with culture, history, stuff we're dealing with right now from the Left, and even fiction books like 1984, or Animal farm. Basically the shit we should have read in school, but since the left almost has a monopoly on education right now we didn't get to read.

Gulag in it's original form is ab 700 pp long. Just this last year, the authorized Anniversary (edited) edition, with a Foreward by Jordan Peterson came out. go for it.
As for Ayn Rand, I think The Fountainhead is a bit less dense than Atlas Shrugged...but Atlas is widey regarded as her Big Deal ab her Philosophy, which btw, is agressivey atheistic. Doesn't mean it's of no interest, just is.
