English Updates

For those of you participating in my literature class read-alongs, I'm also going to be reading Edith Wharton's The Age of Innocence.  On Friday, I'll be able to post the title of my third book (one for each of my three English classes).

In class, I'll have to have finished Age of Innocence by Monday (and we're going to discuss it for the next few class periods after that).  So, for my personal schedule, I'm attempting to have the first half of the book finished by Friday.  I'm sure that most of you won't have time to obtain a copy AND read that far ahead, but if you want to try and keep up with me, that would be great.  (Halfway through the book comes to about 17 chapters).  I'll try not to post any spoilers in the discussions next week.  Still, I'm aiming for a small discussion on Friday about the first few chapters.

And don't forget about The French Lieutenant's Woman (Chapters 1-5) on Thursday!

English Class Read-A-Long (A Quick Update)

Just a quick update.  According to my syllabus, I'm supposed to have the first five chapters of The French Lieutenant's Woman finished by Thursday.  So, for all of you reading along, I'll not post anything past that point in the reading, and I'd like to ask that you all do the same (so I can avoid spoilers, too!)  There might be some slight spoilers in my posts, but hopefully nothing more than I've done in the past.  If I'm posting about something REALLY juicy, I'll make sure to mark the post as a spoiler alert, so that you don't have anything ruined.  Feel free to add anything you want to say in the comments, or if you feel so inclined, follow along with posts on your own blog.  Either way would work splendidly :)

I've finished Chapter One already (these chapters are real short), but, out of courtesy, I'll try not to post anything until Thursday or Friday.  Also, my two other books will be posted online as soon as I find out the titles (which should be on Wednesday and Friday).
