reading schedule: pride and prejudice

This week was such a fail in terms of reading for the specific purposes of this project.  Pride and Prejudice seems so daunting.  I've read (actually read) Jane Austen before (Emma, btw) and remember it being very difficult to get through, so I think a part of me is just too intimidated to get started.  Granted I was a lot younger then, and didn't really have the patience that reading this kind of old, "proper" English requires.  Anyway, to help the process along, I've decided to set a schedule for reading Pride and Prejudice.  At this point I'm aiming for one chapter a day, five days a week.  I may adjust according to how into the book I get once I've started it, but for now my plan looks like this:

Pride and Prejudice Reading Schedule
Dates Chapters
April 24 - April 30 1 - 5
May 1 - May 7 6 - 10
May 8 - May 14 11 - 15
May 15 - May 21 16 - 20
May 22 - May 28 21 - 25
May 29 - June 4 26 - 30
June 5 - June 11 31 - 35
June 12 - June 18 36 - 40
June 19 - June 25 41 - 45
June 26 - July 2 46 - 50
July 3 - July 9 51 - 55
July 10 - July 16 56 - 61

Three months seems like an awfully long time to be reading a book, but I feel like if I take the pressure to read it and finish it and finish it NOW! off, I might actually get some reading done.
