Composition and Rhetoric discussion

I'm still waiting for my copy to be delivered via interlibrary loan. In the meantime....

Feel free to post quotations that are interesting, observations, questions, or maybe even notes from your reading. Main point: your post doesn't have to be a mini essay, devastating critique, or illuminating insight. Anything is fair game. If the conversation is going in a direction that you find uninteresting (and listen, if I'm involved in the conversation, that's more than likely the case) take us in a new direction.

Also, please continue to suggest books for our reading list. Also, if you want to make changes to the monthly reading schedule, please let me know. It isn't fixed in stone. I'm happy to move stuff around to accommodate research schedules, classes...etc.
