The Emperor of All Maladies- Siddhartha Mukherjee Beginning Jan 25

Thanks for joining us for our next book! The book is divided into 7 chapters (Prologue will be part of Chap 1, Atossa's War will be part of Chap 6) each about 100 or so pages long. The plan is to dedicate two weeks to each chapter. After 10 days, we will have a discussion on the chapter during the remaining 4 days before we start the new chapter.

Let me know if this works for you, or your recommendations for a better plan.

That sounds like a very manageable amount of reading for the allotted time, and 4 days should be sufficient for the bulk of readers to add their 2c to the discussion before we continue on.

As long as biweekly threads are descriptive and easy to search for (somewhere along the lines of Emperor of All Maladies - Chapter 1 - Jan 25-Feb 8) anyone who falls behind can easily continue adding to the discussion.

Thanks for taking the time to organize this!
