Doesn't 256 pages in 25 days actually equal 10 pages per DAY, and
about 50 pages per hosted segment?  I think that's WAY too fast.
That's about TWICE as many pages as our Against the Day reading.  I
don't have the book, so I can't compare words-per-page-wise, but this
still seems too aggressive.  Let's limit the segments to 20 to 30
pages per segment.  And lets start it on Sept 22, if that's all right
with the group.

Thoughts?
