Let’s consider the plot of reading a Lawrence Watt-Evans novel. I do not meant the plot of the book itself.
It follows a strict pattern that cannot be deviated from.

1. Obtain the book in question.
2. Let it sit on bedside table for several days.
3. On a weekday evening, read a chapter before going to sleep.
4. The next weekday evening, repeat.
5. On the following day, typically a Saturday, instead of getting up, plan to read a single chapter.
6. Place finished book on bookshelf.

Do not question the plan. The plan is sound.
