I read Anthem in a few hours. I selected it because I wanted to become familiar with Ayn Rand's writing style before I tackled Atlas Shrugged, and I was amazed at the poetic way she described a young man's thoughts as he tore himself away from the mental shackles in which he existed to a total rebirth, once he escaped what we would probably call Communisim. The story encapsulates a man's quest for individual Freedom and the journey of how he achieved it.  It's tricky reading at first, but if you stick with it the reward at the end is worth it.
