Participants will not need to log in every single day. 
Hosts will not need to post every single day. 
We will cover the entire novel in 6-8 months,  averaging 5 pages per day
or 35 pages per week. We will focus on Gravity's Rainbow. Since this is
out third time reading this novel, we've have exhaustive and extensive
notes and copious notes on the notes in the archives. We discussed the
critical literature.  If we focus on the novel, we can read it in 6-8
months. Of course, this plan assumes that all the members of the reading
group have read the novel at least once and probably twice and that most
of the reading group members have participated in a discussion of
Gravity's Rainbow already. 

What say you all?
