Each chapter has multiple numbered subchapters, so if we wanted to do an in-between pace it should be straightforward to find reasonable breakpoints for that.

OK let’s look into this a bit more closely. What if we think about weeks and pages per week? What pace would you be comfortable with? poll If we go by chapters, the schedule will be a bit uneven. For the “1 chapter per week” solution, I would group the prologue with chapter 1 (= 48 pages) and the …

I had a look now and read the first 7 pages (the prologue) to get a rough feel for the difficulty. The writing style is pretty easy to read, and the grammar is also on the easier side. I still had to look up a fair amount of vocab, but that might be just because It’s a new book and the beginning is …

Hello all, sorry for the long silence! Let’s take another look into finding a suitable schedule for everybody. The poll had these options on top: [image] and since the voters are almost, but not exactly identical, I thought the 7-week option might be a good choice. So I tried to stick with the ~…

Here’s a suggestion for a 7 week schedule that keeps to subchapter break points. It’s a little lumpy but hopefully not too much so: page range page count starts at 5-38 34 prologue 39-89 51 chapter 1.3 90-135 46 chapter 3.0 135-171 37 chapter 4.2 171-208 38 chapter 5.3 208-255 48 c…

The end looks very good, but 50 and 46 in quick succession at the start might be a bit heavy? Can we maybe push this one subchapter ahead - what would it look like then?

I’ve edited to fix some arithmetic errors and make a second proposal for the first two weeks.

[image] pm215: Another option for weeks one and two is page range page count starts at 5-52 47 prologue 53-89 37 chapter 2.0 I like that one the best for now. I’m not much concerned with having a lead in week and are more interested in the weeks being roughly balanced or at least…

I also like the 47 - 37 pages option best for the first two weeks.
