Master of Petersburg - Group Read - Revised Schedule

[Richard Ryan]

Ok - so after getting some more feedback and input and another hosting volunteer (thanks Mark!) we now have a schedule of four chapters every TWO weeks. 

Richard Sept 15th - 28th Chapters 1-4
Bekah Sept 29th - Oct 12th  Chapters 5-8
Lawrence Oct 13th - Oct 26th Chapter 9-12
Mark Oct 27th - Nov 9th Chapters 13-16
TBD Nov 10th - Nov 23rd  Chapters 17-20

I need to hear from our hosts and make sure this schedule works for them, but I hope that this is one that the rest of the list can live with.

This is a schedule of about 3 pages a day - it seems a little slow to me - but it provide for the kind of very close reading that the group wants....
