Tentative Schedule

I think I have a schedule finalized. More ambitious than I realized it would be, given that there are so many titles that begin with the same title number (e.g., 51.1 and 51.5). When I did my initial estimate, I took Title 67, the last title, and divided by 16 (the number of weeks remaining this year). That lead me to believe there would be less than 5 titles per week. Not so. Eeep! That's a lot of reading!!! I don't want to set myself up for failure, so I will reconsider my schedule at the end of this week.

The weeks are grouped by topic. On the weeks with drier topics and/or a moderately light workload, I tried to include a grab-bag topic. I left the last week of December as a buffer week, when I will be in Canada visiting my in-laws (who go to bed early) and can do catchup if need be. All readings are subject to change.
