Reading Plan Area for Improvement

I love so much about the new reading plan setup. I have one complaint/suggestion for improvement. If we aren't reading the Bible we don't have the option to select just a portion of the book. Would it be possible to make a field that would let us read only a portion of the book (skipping the title page and table of contents for example, which is pretty significant on the reading plan I just set up)?:

    I just noticed the same thing setting up a reading plan on a commentary.  Because of the time span I chose I end up looking at the TOC for two days, and that's after reading the title page for a day.  :-)  Um, no.

    Hmm Sarcasm is my love language. Obviously I love you.

    Maybe just like 1 week on the Table of Contents and 1 week for the Bibliography? ;-)

    A cheap workaround temporarily would be to generate the report, determine the number of days until you want to start reading and then subtract that number of days from the initial numbers. I agree though, being able to select at least the beginning and end sections of the table of contents that you would want to read would be helpful. Even better would be to list the table of contents with a checkbox by each section.

    Just think Joe, you just skip the contents pages etc and start reading the actual text and you will be well ahead of your plan and time. Bonus!

    I've just started looking at this and appreciate it but do agree if this is possible then Jacob's suggestion would be a good enhancement.

    In agreement one hundred percent about limiting reading plans to a portion of a book - p.1 to p.350 for example.

    I would like to add: I love the idea of being able to export the reading plan to a calendar:

    I would much prefer an ical file or such so that I could import it into my calendar of choice (Google Calendar).

    I would also like, if this were to be implemented, the option of not allocating a time to the reading but to mark it as an all day event. 

    Perhaps Logos could host our reading calendars as ical files.
