Great American Books Spring 2007!

Welcome to the English 250 Course Blog! This will be a great place for you to engage in dialogue about some of the books we'll be reading this semester. As you can see, I've left some of the posts and comments from last semester, so feel free to glance at those if you like. The most important thing to remember for this exercise is to have fun with it!
