Personally, I don't think they are as widely read as reported. Purchased, yes. Read? Not so much. Getting into AS was one of the hardest reads I've ever had. Once into it, I can't explain to anyone what my mind went through.

Not a lot of people will keep going if it isn't easy read right off the bat.

One of the quickest reads I've ever had. The book looks thick, but it goes by fast.

its' a quick book, has hard sections, like the "John Galt's TV speech"
