I know that many of you heard about these new Atlas Shrugged Reading Groups starting in Colorado this fall on my first podcast, but I thought I should post a text announcement too. Please feel free to spread the word!
Hence:
Front Range Objectivism is pleased to announce a new project: Atlas Shrugged Reading Groups (ASRG). Groups are now forming in Longmont, Colorado Springs, and Denver.
In these reading groups, members read and discuss Ayn Rand’s epic novel Atlas Shrugged over the course of twenty weekly meetings. Each meeting lasts ninety minutes; it covers about sixty pages of the novel. Discussion is guided by questions prepared by me (Diana Hsieh) and given to members in advance.
FRO’s Atlas Shrugged Reading Groups are open to not just to Objectivists but to any fan of the novel interested in discussing the characters, events, and ideas of the novel in greater depth. Based on the group that we ran over the summer, I’m willing to guarantee that participants will learn more than they thought possible — and have lots of good fun.
About the three groups:
-
