    There are short chapters (8 pages here, 5 pages there) sandwiched between large chapters (39 pages, 32 pages). Maybe it should be two-chapter groupings every time?
    Is that the page number beginning for each chapter, @allegate ?

    Yes, I agree two chapter groupings each time.

    How long do we want per grouping? A week? Five days?

    Is everybody ready to start discussing this THURSDAY evening?

    Or do we want to keep reading a few more chapters and then discuss?

    Yeah. I took the book off my kindle and converted it to PDF so I could read it at work and look busy.

    Almost finished with the second chapter, and as short as the 'every other chapter' chapters are three should be easy enough.

    Awesome, thanks for the info, that will be really helpful to us all!

    Let's all go for three and discuss next week, then.

    @Sarah K @allegro

    Went to the local Barnes & Noble and they had a table for African American History month set up. Lots of great books by lots of great writers but there was one on the table that stuck out to me as "the manager just looked at the title." I chuckled and pointed it out to my wife. Should have taken a pic.
