I wonder if you'd seen the SICP study group which started a few months back:
http://groups.google.com/group/wizardbookstudy

Thought it might be interesting to read the group and the study
schedule they were following for ideas. Also with SICP there appears
to be great value in completing the exercises. As you mentioned not
achievable within a month. Although I dare say that the structure of
the reading and discussion schedule would depend on the material.
