I finally got started with reading. I haven’t done much yet though, only about 50 pages. I can already tell that the book will hold my attention though.

How to read Atlas Shrugged
It made me
awed
 "Amazing."
How I did it: Followed the recommendation of a favorite professor; if one is going to study the work of marxist and socialist scholars, one should also study the work of those who have lived under a socialist regime -- if only for the sake of comparison beyond one's personal worldview. Lessons & tips: At the time I first read it (my senior year of college), this book made me question my personal opinions in the context of public opinion, my morality and personal values, and how the ways in which I ascribe both to the world around me shapes all of my action, moreso than anything else I'd read.

How I did it: I listened to it on MP3. Everyday I listened, once I was an hour in I was hooked. There are so many resources on the web for and about the book. If you have a problem keeping track of the characters check them out. Read how I did it…

How I did it: I'm a sophmore in high school and also obsessed with reading classics! So over Christmas break I started reading it and couldn't put it down!!

How I did it: I read a little each night, however it took me a while with work and school. I finished it one weekend where I devoted the entire weekend to laying in bed reading Atlas Shrugged. The philosophy makes it hard to continuously read at times, but then again--it's a beautiful philosophy. :) Read how I did it…

Yeah. I get it. The book is worth reading. But how to find the time to devote to such a thick ass book? Well I guess I oughta just give it a go at some point. A good start would actually be obtaining the book used through an online retailer. That’s where I’m headed now…see ya!

I bought a copy of the book. Now, I just have to get motivated to start reading. I might wait until summer so that my law schools studies don’t interfere. I am working as a clerk out of town, so I am sure I will have plenty of free time then.

As part of my goals, I think I will set this as a reward for accomplishing them in a reasonable time frame that I set. One step at a time.

I thought this book was unapproachable. I psyched to hear it has been so motivational to some people. I will surely add it to my list and read a bit at a time. I think this would be a great book to leave my message in! Two goals in one!
