I have to agree. While I like

I have to agree. While I like the idea of comparing books as we have been doing, reading 12 texts over the course of 6 weeks is a little intense. And I don't think it would be fair to the pieces to "excerpt" them, partly because that any message would probably be misconstrued by taking parts of the book and partly because I feel like if we're going to put the time towards reading anything, we should be enjoying the full text. 

I am interested in exploring the different themes and forms that we talked about in class: science, race, religion; print, TV shows, graphic novels. 

I also think we should get a little bit of genre theory in here somewhere, an essay or something, that speaks to fiction/non-fiction dichotomies. It would be interesting to see what's been said in conjunction with the things we've been reading.
