In my day an entire chapter was assigned, then discussed the next day.

@NativeOregonian Just one chapter? How long was it?

@33person One chapter per night, we averaged two books a month, sometimes three, in one particular english equivalent class I took on science fiction. Another english equivalent class I took on mass media did about two books a month.

@NativeOregonian Then it sounds like the entire book had like 10 chapters. Frankenstein has 24 chapters, so you can see how one chapter of that per night would make it take forever.

@33person You would be surprised how many scifi books are nothing more than novellas in classic anthology books, like in Ellery Queen magazine.
