Recongitiones est omnis divisa in partes tres...

The three parts break out as follows:

Part I - 7 chapters
Part II -  9 chapters
Part III - 6 chapters, although the last chapter is unnumbered and unnamed

....or a total of 22 reading section (I'm pretty sure I have this
right, but there's no table of contents, and I might have missed a
chapter flipping through).  Were we to start on April 1 and take two
weeks per chapter, it would essentially take us a bit more than nine
months to finish.  In other words, we'd have to rush to complete the
book before the Mayan branded end of the world.

A  big commitment at 955 pages (not including the "extra credit"
intro....).   I'll send out a sign up in a day or two and see if we
get enough takers to justify the attempt.
