CoL49 Schedule Update

[J K Van Nort]

While this schedule that you posted was for 5 days, as a group, we agreed that we would maintain a 10 day pace. The schedule may go over that a bit, I took the first chapter, which was more than 10 pages, but it made no sense to break up that small chapter. Same with the last chapter.
If you look back in the April archive, you will see the first schedule, and the opportunity to vote on either schedule. While you voted for 5 days per week, the majority chose 10. The reason I didn’t update your suggested schedule was because it had 5 day per week segments. You seem to be upset that we didn’t chose your option, but that is how democratic process works.
There are some significant differences in pagination between the two versions of the book; that was hard to create an equal share of pages. 
If you can’t host on the week in July, hopefully someone or myself will take it.
In solidarity,James

That’s funny! I think I remember SOMEONE getting all snippy about THIS schedule (that I posted about FOUR TIMES), for some odd reason… but I don’t think I ever saw any update posted here for beyond Chapter 2.

But you have (probably wisely) increased the number of pages per section from about 8 to now 15.  So, either everyone keeps up the faster pace, or the whole thing falls apart faster…

I updated this based on some people not being able to participate or having dropped off. I provided the host summary and questions for this week, but we have James R for next week. Can anyone take that host week? I am taking Jemmy’s week on the 23rd of June. After that I posted the rest of the read simply by repeating the order from the beginning. The only other host that hasn’t contributed during the 1st half is Richard at the end.




I will take that week if no one else can. If changes need to be made, email me, and I’ll revise and repost the schedule. The whole original schedule was posted in April, just before we started on the 29th of April.




Here is the revised as of now schedule:




CHAPTER 1:


4/28:  a9-22/b1-12.   James V


CHAPTER 2:


5/5:  a23-33; b13-22.   Mark


5/12:  a33-46; b23-30. David


CHAPTER 3:


5/19:  a47-56; b31-41   Michael


5/26:  a57-68; b42-52   Joseph


6/2:  a68-80; b52-63    Joseph


CHAPTER 4:


6/9:  a81-89; b64-71   James V


6/16:  a93-100; b72-79   James R


CHAPTER 5:


6/23:  a101-112; b80-90   James V


6/30:   a113-125; b91-101   James V


7/7:  a126-138; b102-112   Mark
