Sponsorship

I've had two sponsors.

My first sponsor came over once a week, opened the big book, read a chapter out loud and asked me if I had any questions and then left. After reading the book he had me write my inventory then did a 5th step.

My second (and current) sponsor literally flung a big book back over his shoulder and said "lets do something real".

I hear people in meetings say they will go through the book with anybody or that they will go through the readings with a sponsee. What is the usual way to do this? My first sponsor was annoying - I could read much faster than him and it just got aggravating listening. My current sponsor is awesome but we have never touched the big book.

I want to start sponsoring people but I'm not sure what to do, book wise. What are your experiences?
