I do have to add that the film version was kind of a disappointment. With the audio version, or the paper version, your characters stay as your mind has configured them, based upon the voice of the reader. With the book turned movie, we had main character changes and after doing the audio, well yeah, the film version was kind of a let down. Still love it though!

In the past, I traveled a lot and listened to a lot of books on cd. Atlas Shrugged was my favorite. As long as there is a good reader, you will get SUCKED into the book. When you get to your destination you may even find yourself wondering how you got from point A to point B so quickly. I also listened to a lot of John Grisham's books. His readers are excellent.

Audible will allow you to use any digital player, even cell phones, but it also has the ability to be downloaded and then played through the cars audio input, although my car (Ford Focus), never would acknowledge the input. I gave up fighting auto logic, and just stayed with CD's. I have about 200 books from Audible now, all on CD.

Agreed, it was a great rendition.

Sounds like you had the Audible version. I burned mine on Itunes and it was 24 or so CDs worth, and was Scott Brick. Excellent version throughout.

I've read the book 6 times and probably listened to it that many times as well. Reading is better but you can't read all of the time. I still find little nuggets when I do either Needless to say it's a great book.

Bought an audio copy some time ago, and it's a constant companion on my commutes, and at other times.

The audio is something like 63 hours long, so by the time I get to the end I'm ready to listen to it again. I've been doing this for several years, and I have yet to get tired of hearing this masterpiece.

Scott Bricks, the reader, ( not positive on the spelling of the last name) made the audio version so incredibly great. I think mine was 20 cds or so. It was great.

Mine came in 4 CDs. I wonder how yours was created....

I did the Kindle audio version. It was great!

This is what I do (daydream). Not specific to AS; it's any audio book; even a radio program. I just seriously cannot keep my mind on listening. When I do succeed in listening, it begins to feel like a brain invader after about 30 minutes. Hubby and I have learned to adapt. He has his audio entertainment fed through bluetooth directly to his hearing aids. I get the silence :-)

I tried for years to read Atlas Shrugged, but had a terrible time getting through Rand's style. Listening to it on CD's get me through it (I loaned my copy to my brother (who is not an objectivist) and may never see them again.

Its a great listen once a year while driving to and from work.

In my opinion the Audible version is the better version (not sure if they have more than one).

I have two CD audio version, One from Audible and another I think from I tunes which constitute 3 different versions, not where I can see them but one CD and Audible are the same and much better reading. Audible is where I would get it today

LOL...true. I'm not all up on the digital streaming thing yet.

It's on Audible.

I have been listening to the audio book version on every cross country drive for about 15 years.
It makes the 2300 miles from GA to LA like flying in first class, well, without the free booze and food service. I can make the trip driving in 2 1/4 days with only AS for company.
Highly recommended for any extended drive.

Can you get it on digital streaming? CDs are so 2017. :-)

Nice. Its a good commute book. I actually prefer the audio to reading Atlas, with the Fountainhead it was the other way round. Not sure why.
