M&D reading

[Perry Noid]

Ooh! I'm excited, glad everyone here is interested. I've never led anything
like this so if anyone wants to help with the logistics you can chime in
here or just go ahead and take the lead. Otherwise, folks can just offer
suggestions on how we can proceed, like how many pages a week/day/month
whatever.

Also glad that I'm not the only one who will be reading it for the first
time. Perhaps we can take turns offering up a summary of each section at
the end of every chunk or, I dunno, like I said, I'm new to this. Maybe the
less organized the better, I hear the tendency for group readings is toward
disarray but it's best to try anyway as far as I'm concerned. No harm in
doing so.

So if anyone has recommendations on how to portion out the book and
structure it etc. we can do that before we start. I assume everyone is okay
with January. If no one else wants to build a schedule I can try my hand at
it; see If I can't devise a good strategy.

Glad so many of you are interested, should be fun, but if it doesn't work
then oh well. Excited to try at any rate, been excited for this book for
quite some time and I've also started it and stopped before like the
others. We can tackle it as a team! Ready team!? Break!

Seriously though, about how many pages and how long of an interval is
reasonable for each section in order for us to successfully do this? I
really want this to work out. Based on things I've read here before, it
sounds like success is not the norm for group readings here.
