Wednesday miscelany

Working my way through Reading Lolita in Tehran. Normally I'm not big on the Oprah-sanctioned booklist, but Nicole picked this up at the library and I thought I'd have a look. In six weeks I begin teaching at a university that serves a significant Muslim population and thought the book might prove insightful. But I'm finding more connections with reflecting on teaching in *SW Ohio* for the past three years. It's a slow read, but I'll certainly blog more on this when I finish the book.
