we're expecting that the seven readers will read the book over a 5-6 week period, approximately 100-120 pages per week. the goal is for there to be a "conversation" in the margins so they will try to be in the same part of the book at the same time.
I love this - it's like being in on a book club for smarties that would never invite me in real life. I am going to get the book and start reading along. Wonderful idea.
