I don’t know if we’ll end up needing the wiki but I made one anyways. Also, if you see anything wrong with the schedule let me know but this one cut fairly nicely into sections. Even using the longest page count I saw for the book (just under 600 pages) we’d be averaging ~50 pages/week over a 12 week schedule. There are also a lot of diagrams in the book so not every page is full text.

If someone has a physical copy feel free to add in those pages, I gave %s and page estimates based on my device but those will wiggle a bit depending on your own device settings.

I opened the week 2 thread early because I’ll be traveling and while I will have my computer I can’t guarantee I’ll remember to / be able to post on time :sweat_smile:

If you have read ahead please refrain from posting until the week officially opens so as to let everyone enjoy the club without feeling rushed :bowing_man:
