As I'll be following the process outlined in the TWEM book, I can't/won't follow a schedule per se. For the first stage (grammar), I'll plow through and only stop to quickly jot down quick notes (impressions, questions etc). At the second stage (logic), I'll review my notes/highlights and attempt to answer Bauer's suggested questions, and the last stage (rhetoric) is for formulating my opinion of the novel and entering the discussion to hear what everyone else thinks.
This may only be a buddy read for some, but I'm treating it as a self-education project, so my approach may be a bit protracted.
My suggestion: There are 74 chapters - we can work out a schedule and end date from that, and each person can read according to their preference, either following the schedule or simply reading to complete the book at the end date. Those who follow the schedule can choose to stop at these marked points for discussion, and those of us who are plowing through can read to the end and join in the discussion afterward. What do you think?
