If you are currently in this group or are planning to be, please let me know your preferences. We generally discuss each book for 2 weeks, although you should be finished reading the book by the first week. Books are usually 300 pages or fewer. I will publish the exact list a couple of weeks before the term begins, although we occasionally make some adjustments during the term.
The study group will be mostly discussion and will include background information on authors. Study guides will help direct reading and discussion. Reading requirement of approximately 200 pages a week.
