Atlas Shruged Challange

[Carthage]

I officially challange each and every one of you to Read "Atlas Shrugged" over the summer, if you haven't already.
I read it in about a week and a half (it was winter, I didn't get outside much), so I doubt it will take you all summer, but I figured you probably have jobs and such.

As a reward: Anyone who finishes the novel (Honor code!) by September 1 2008 will be awarded all of my tokenz (will be split up between finishers), as many possible positive reps as I can allow myself to give, I will read any book of their choice (as long as I can get my hands on it, and the books given by all winners), and (if they give me their addresses) I will send them a congratulations card (if not, you'll have to settle for an electronic one).

Over the summer, the books I will be reading:

The Bible
Critique of Pure Reason
The World as Will and Representation
A Marxist Anthology.

Yep. It's going to be a subjectivist summer.

PS: If you are going to accept the challenge, please tell me before Sept. 1

Why Atlas Shrugged?

Any possibility it will be released as a movie? That'd be cool. I just don't have the patience for reading lengthy books.

You're going to get through the whole of the Bible plus several other books during the course of the summer? That's some heavy reading dude!!!:eek

It's in pre-production. Angelina Jolie is playing the main character.

I know, when I was 14, in the summer holidays, I was more interested in playing football, going swimming and chatting up girls in skimpy summer clothes.

Why Atlas Shrugged?

That's like asking a missionary why he wants you to read the Bible : It's to spread your beliefs. I am convinced that if people read Atlas Shrugged, Objectivism (my philosophy) will become more popular. I've already gotten a couple of people at school to read it, now I'm going more national.

I might see it too, because... well it's a movie.

I doubt I'll read the book though, sorry. Well not for a long time at least because I've got a big list already.

 

[joeydeacon]

oh boy.
My eyes hurt.

What if I already read it?

Angelina FTW.

YOU READ THAT AND DIDN'T BECOME A DEVOTED FOLLOWER OF AYN RAND? IS THAT POSSIBLE???

You can read it again and accept the challenge. Maybe you just need to read it twice...
