I read a ton of non fiction then stumbled on an article but Tim Ferriss

I loved the idea of getting non fiction lessons from good fiction writing. Humans naturally learn from good stories and good fiction has the best story writing.
Therefore what have been your favourite Fiction books that have given you good life lessons or anything applicable to self improvement/entrepreneurship?
For me the most noticeable have been:

Shogun - James Clavell

Enders Game - Orson Scott Card
- Awesome lessons on war, leadership and strategy
Atlas Shrugged - Ayn Rand
- Epically long read but Capitalism is good..
