I'm looking something inspirational.
What are the books that praise individualism, human creativity, assertiveness, overcoming problems even if with big effort?
It does not necessarily have to be the promotion of capitalism. More, I would like to avoid reading moralism or some coach-like-speech (that is why I would prefer novels).
Giaur and not faggy-doomer Romanticism
Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
Atlas Shrugged, maybe?
Something written by Jack London?
Some early fascist literature and philosophy (before too much retardation and nerds)?
Classics
South America should have some cultural works in this spirit I guess

Seconded, this is 100% what you're looking for OP. It takes a little while to get going but the payoff is worth it.

Damn that one got me. Reminds me a little of Thoreau:
