4/27: last reading assignment

I just finished reading the last assignment of the school year, Orphea Proud by Sharon Dennis Wyeth.  There wasn't any grand plan behind my putting it as the last book, but I'm glad I did:  it's creative, thoughtful, and affirming--plus it avoids some of the gender pitfalls that the class and I have noticed all too often this semester.  A good note to end on.
