Come to class on Wednesday with an idea of which books you are most interested in presenting on. You must sign up for two books; one assignment must concern the first part of a book and the other assignment must concern the second (or, in one case, third) part of a book. Groups must not surpass five in number nor comprise fewer than three; if this is the case we will have to assign people lower-priority books. Selections will take place via an in-class lottery on
Wednesday.
