Had a student come in with one of the short stories in this book. It has officially moved up my TBR list.

Readergrrl I loved teaching with this novel! It brings up the interesting concept of a series of seemingly quasi-related stories intended to be read and absorbed as a whole. 6y
GingerAntics @Readergrrl I first got this book almost 10 years ago and for various reasons I‘ve never actually read it, but I‘ve heard wonderful things about it. 6y
Readergrrl @GingerAntics There is one story that I do find very difficult/impossible to read. It involves a water buffalo calf. I will read that book over and over, but I just can‘t read that story ever again. It is perhaps the best illustration of what rage and grief and frustration can do to a person... I just can‘t. 6y

GingerAntics @Readergrrl Hm, that sounds interesting. It just seems to shuffle higher and higher on the list. 6y
Texreader What do you teach? 6y
GingerAntics @Texreader Me? 6y
Texreader @GingerAntics yes. Do you teach? 6y
GingerAntics @Texreader intermittently, yes. I teach research methods, bridge to college writing, and critical thinking. 6y
Texreader @GingerAntics Sounds awesome! 6y
GingerAntics @texreader the research methods and the critical thinking are more in my wheel house, but I‘ve become a bit of a grammar tyrant since working in the writing Center, so the bridge to college writing isn‘t a stretch. lol 6y
