Ok, the majority has spoken, and it's been decided that we'll start out with two chapters a week and see how that works for everyone, given that this reading is much lighter and the chapters are much shorter than the previous book. I'm aiming to start on Friday, April 10th and continue from there with the following schedule, so that people still have the rest of this week to acquire the book and then next week to start reading. I'll open my discussions, such as they are, on Friday nights, since I usually go to church on Saturday nights.
Schedule:
Ch. 1-2 April 10th
Ch. 3-4 April 17th
Ch. 5-6 April 24th
Ch. 7-8 May 1st
Ch. 9-10 May 8th
Ch. 11-12 May 15th
Ch. 13-14 May 22nd
Ch. 15-16 May 29th
Ch. 17-18 June 5th
Tell me now if there are any problems with this schedule, and we can also step it up to three chapters a week if people feel we are progressing too slowly. That's all from me for now, and happy reading!

Ok, this looks good to me. I'm checking it out of the library so I hope I can renew it enough times to avoid paying a fine.
I'm also checking the book out from the library. And, like you and I talked earlier on the phone, Angela, I think it's a good idea to see how quick the reading is for everyone and adjust the reading accordingly. Same as Debra, I also want to avoid fines from my library. :D
Not a problem, after the first week if we decide we can handle more, I can update the schedule accordingly. This is like, the equivalent of a school semester, and that's a bit much for what I consider a very easy book. Also, if you do wish to avoid fines, the book is probably available at any bookstore quite cheaply, it's a young adult book, so not even quite as expensive as an adult paperback, in the neighborhood of $7.
I am going to have to read this before April 20 because there is already a hold on the book at the library, so I won't be able to renew it. It sounds like it's a fast read, though.
I know you all think I've disappeared off the face of the planet, but I don't want you to worry! I will be reading this book and participating in the discussions. I'm a bit behind but I will be getting the book tomorrow and will catch up right quick!
