So, following the conversation from the main thread:

If so, well, I guess we can either bump up the reading speed or accept the fact we’ll be spending 24 weeks or so reading the book.

Bumping up the reading right from the start feels to me like breaking the “speed promise” to those who voted and who are interested but might have a harder time keeping up with the reading speed. But that doesn’t mean we need to be tied to a fixed schedule throughout the whole book. Therefore my suggestion would be to start out with a standard 15-ish-page schedule and to vote on increasing the speed after 4 weeks or so. This way, we have a much better grip on how difficult the book actually is, and the participants have a better grip on how well they can manage reading the book, so they have much more information on which they can base their vote.

I feel like starting with 15 pages a week to test the water and decided later is indeed the best option.
@ everyone else, thoughts?

By the way, I do not have the book yet, so I do not know where are the natural breaks in the book (or even if there is such thing besides the various chapters). So the schedule will remain empty for a few days
