Straight Man

Just finished Richard Russo's novel, Straight Man, a rather bitter yet humorous sendup of life in academia as told by an English professor. Russo is the Pulitzer-Prize winning aithor of Empire Falls.

I realize I haven't reviewed two blogs.

Irene has an interesting blog on doing business in China--which should help give her info for her research paper later in the class. Only five entries so far, but they are good.

Reggie has started his blog, but there haven't been any entries since may 19.

I'm now following the blogs with my feed reader, so I'll start commenting on them as new posts come in.
