N.B.--We have organized chapter assignments so that bloggers are slated to write on topics related to their own interests. However, since all members of our team must meet class-wide posting deadlines of 10/12, 10/26, and 11/9, some chapters may be discussed here ahead of our reading schedule. We invite conversation at all stages of the process!
