Reading Schedule
- I tried to aim for logical breaks in the flow, so the last sentence might not be the last sentence of the page but the last sentence before a break.
- Breaks aren’t evenly spaced. At all. Page count varies wildly from a week to the next, but should remain in a reasonable range.
- To prevent weeks from having too few or too many pages, we will sometimes keep reading past the end of a chapter into the next.
