For a book I've already read, I'm pretty flexible, which makes me think that for a newly published book, I'd like a chance to read it all on my own first, at my own pace, before doing a readalong. I like the idea of a schedule and the idea of no racing ahead. I imagine that if there were discussions of later chapters, I wouldn't have enough self control not to participate. I think I like the idea of planning to spend about one month on a book. So at 34 chapters, that means (gulp!) one chapter a day, unless a chapter is long. Hm. Maybe one chapter each business day, so that weekends are a chance to catch up! - tky
