Schedule of Readings

By Diana Hsieh @ 10:00 AM

The discussion questions and podcasts on Ayn Rand's epic novel Atlas Shrugged are broken down into twenty sessions, each covering about 65 pages of the novel. That is the format that Front Range Objectivism is using for its Atlas Shrugged Reading Groups.

Please note that the pagination of the two larger hardcover and softcover editions differ from that of the smaller mass market paperback. I recommend using the larger edition: I don't always list page numbers for the smaller edition on this web site.
