Sponsoring a book:

• Sponsoring means you volunteer to lead the discussion and provide information required for the voting and syllabus process.

1. 100-150 pages per week, sometimes more sometimes less.
2. A book shouldn't take more than 4 weeks.
3. Follow the natural flow of the book. Lump together natural things.
