THE CHALLENGE:
1. Read Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged over 8 weeks (roughly 150 pages per week, or 22 pages per day)
2. Check into this blog weekly and discuss the reading and cheer on the rest of us. I'll post discussion questions, but you can feel free to post your own questions in the comments.
THE RESULT:
Overall feeling of awesomeness and accomplishment at having read this monster AND carried on an intelligent discussion of it.
THE FINE PRINT:
-- You may listen to the audio book as an alternative to the reading. Some people have long commutes. I get this.
-- You can take it at your own pace. Just know that the blog will be covering 150 pages each week.
-- The conversation will undoubtedly get political. That's OK. Let's just keep a mutual respect thriving in our discussion.
Here's Mike Wallace's interview with Ayn Rand from 1959:
Here's a trailer for the movie that's already out in limited release:

I'm in! I'm buying it this weekend so I can get started. I watched all 3 parts of the Mike Wallace interview and the wheels in my head are already turning with thoughts I've never even considered.
