Foreigner reading: logistics

I took a look at my copy (paperback), and found that most of the chapters average perhaps 30 pages (generally 22-35), but there are several which are quite short (7-8 pages).

If we want to aim for 50-60 pages per "chunk" of reading, I'd suggest the following setup:
Expandseven units of approx. 60 pages )

Alternately, if we wanted to read a bit more at a time, we could do it this way:
Expandsix units of 80-90 pages )

Or, slightly more ambitiously yet, there's a third option:
Expand5 units of 90-100 pages )

Because I can, I give you a poll:
