Hopefully this will give us enough time to cover the material in each chapter before moving on to the next, but since it's just based in a thread for each section, discussion can continue on one topic while we start another. I hope this is a pace everyone can handle -- it's roughly 10 pages a day, and there's a few days before we get started.

There's no real need for a sign-up other than just to see how many people plan on following and contributing to the discussion.

I'm interested. How does this work? Just start posting questions about the appropriate section starting the specified day? I'm guessing there will be an ITH Book Club thread setup for this.

I will follow, and I will try to contribute. Keep in mind that I'm a novice, so my contributions will likely be questions rather than answers.

There is lots of white space on each page, big print...10 pgs a day should be no problem. Besides, many people already have read the book...just need to re-familiarize themselves.

I will participate. I am a complete newbie.. and after reviewing one of the previous threads in this forum, I decided to start with ITH.. and I just got it from Amazon.com earlier this week, so I am ready to go.

Two pieces of advice I should give you are:

1. 10 pages per day doesnt sound like much now, but it can end up being a lot to some people once it gets going, so be flexible with the schedule and be willing to slow it down if need be.

2. For each Section have something to start the discussions off with. When I did this at the beginning of TOP the discussions went great, but when I left the discussion starters up to others because I felt like maybe I was dominating the conversation, it didn't drive conversation as much.

Nice project. I'll be interested to see if the regulars come on and have something of value to contribute, as ITH is a very good book that is under-discussed on these forums, and the differences between ITH, WLLH, and SSHE are something that can provide for a lot of interesting discussion, but on the ITH side haven't been beaten to death yet at all.

Sorry for being ignorant but what is ITH?
