There remains, no doubt, a wagonload of articles extending well beyond these
fine selections. And I’ve done pretty well to secure many of the books
already, although my half.com orders placed just ten days ago haven’t started
showing up yet (most of the orders were for 712). Also, I have a few
high-priced items from the third list to line up once I figure out how
extensively they’ll be used. Sixty-eight junior bacon double-cheeseburgers
for the Foster and Russell edited collection had me thinking about how fond I am
of libraries, for example.
For Reading
Here are the booklists for the two classes I’m taking this fall. I
ordered many of them the other day (had several from the second list already on
the office shelf). The second class (690) is an independent study, so I was thinking that it might be worthwhile to (semi)formalize a reading schedule, post it here, and invite read-alongs. By this I mean that anyone interested (or already intent on reading anything listed in the months ahead) could coordinate readings mixed with a few carnivalous interchanges, conversation and so on.
And yet I understand how things go, how in-semester workloads swell beyond our earlier anticipations of them. No problem if that happens (if, down the
line, you’re too busy). As one of the agreed-to aspects of the study, I’ll
be registering notes, lines of inquiry and other connectables throughout the
fall, blogging it either way, I mean. Feel free to express interest,
whatever comes of it.
What’s in your bag?
What I thought yesterday was a good idea has me struggling over the whole
revelatory ethic. This entry proves the struggle’s status for now.
For a few months, I’ve been fielding questions from family and friends who ask,
"Now what exactly will you be doing at Syracuse?".
Teaching, reading, writing, thinking, walking, biking and so on. And maybe
the better question is what I’ll be carrying around with me while I’m doing all
of that other stuff. So the meme goes: What’s in your bag for these
sixteen weeks? (Fine. It’s not a meme until somebody else does
it, too, but this is by all means memable.) And so
I’m toting around lime Tic-Tacs, a small bottle of Advil, a 64MB jump drive
(in need of upsizing, I think), a few electronic gadgets, a Sharpie marker, a
Guadalupe charm, office and house keys (but no car keys!…wait, what’s
this?…a valet key for the Honda in my bag? Wha?), a file thick with collected
papers relating to this and that, a piece of chalk, two dry-erase markers, a
legal pad, (for one day only) a pile of 40 syllabi for two sections of WRT105,
and a shifting array of articles to accompany what follows for the semester of
study:
