Once you’ve presented the book you read over vacation in class, please summarize it here, as a comment to this post (5 or 6 sentences should suffice). You should also comment, ask questions, discuss other books presented in class this week. Each student must make five comments or ask five questions (or some combination of the two) regarding other student reports and books. This is an opportunity to learn from each other–feel free to engage in an extended on-line discussion beyond the minimum required for a quiz grade. Welcome back!
