Foreigner reading: logistics

[krait]

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:

1st: Books 1 + 2 (61 pg)
2nd: Chp. 1 + 2 (58 pg)
3rd: Chp. 3 + 4 (48 pg)
4th: Chp. 5 + 6 (57 pg)
5th: Chp. 7 + 8 (61 pg)
6th: Chp. 9-13 (55 pg)
7th: Chp. 14-16 (39 pg)


Alternately, if we wanted to read a bit more at a time, we could do it this way:

1st: Books 1 + 2 (61 pg)
2nd: Chp. 1-3 (90 pg)
3rd: Chp. 4-6 (73 pg)
4th: Chp. 7-9 (84 pg)
5th: Chp. 10-13 (71 pg)
6th: Chp. 14-16 (39 pg)


Or, slightly more ambitiously yet, there's a third option:

1st: Books 1 + 2 (61 pg)
2nd: Chp. 1-3 (90 pg)
3rd: Chp. 4-7 (102 pg)
4th: Chp. 8-12 (97 pg)
5th: Chp. 13-16 (68 pg)

Because I can, I give you a poll:
