1/18: out of the (mental) oven

I've been contemplating the idea of teaching a course on Classical Myth in Children's Literature since (gulp) the spring of 2007. Tomorrow at noon, with our first class meeting, the course becomes a reality. It's time to take the metaphorical cake out of my mental oven, so I've spent the evening finalizing the schedule of readings.

I couldn't have had better luck with the students enrolled in the course--I've taught all of them before, and they're good students as well as great people. How lucky am I to be spending time with them as we read and discuss interesting stuff?
