Counting the preface by Sartre and the conclusion, there are 15 chapters/sections, so I would suggest taking about 15 days at it. I won't be able to take the initiative posting daily readings in the coming weeks because of reasons, so maybe @MF_COOM or @TraschcanOfIdeology or somecomrade else will volunteer to do that?
