I usually work Monday and Tuesday evenings, sometimes Friday too. The kids have practices until 9 on Tuesday and Thursdays. I'll just join in when I can. :)

Here's just a couple of ideas (based mainly on pages):
1. We could break it down in to five roughly 80 page chunks which gives us
Intro-Ch.3, Chs. 4 - 7, Chs. 8-11, Chs 12-15;  and Chs. 15-Afterword

or

2.  We could break it down into closer to 100 page chunks:
Intro to Ch. 4, Chs. 5-10, Chs. 11-15 and Ch. 16-Afterword

I am sure there are tons of other possibilities, but these were the two that occurred to me.
What do y'all think?

Do we want to go 5 weeks or 4? I like the idea of 5 weeks-- shorter reading, more discussion.

Ok this is too easy. . . so we are looking at Thursday Nights, 9:30 EST, dividing the book into 5 sections, the first reading being Intro-Ch.3.

Now the kicker, when do we start: 24th, 31st or June 7th (because of the holiday).

June would be easiest for me, just cuz of typical end-of-school-year craziness in may...
Could still start in may if outvoted, tho ;)
