Life in late capitalism can be vexing, alienating, fragmenting, and otherwise frustrating. There are many wonderful things in my life, but I'm more likely to talk about what's bad rather than what's good. I'm going to try to post one good thing here each day, and if you would join in by adding a good thing from your day in the comments, I'd love it--I'd absolutely love it. --RR
10/26: fourth time through
In one of my classes I teach five novels to a group of students for half of the semester and then I get a new group of students for the second half of the term and teach them the same five novels. I taught this course last year, too, which means that in two years I'll have taught these five novels four times. Now that I'm on my fourth pass with them, I am a little worried about things turning stale--but for the past two class sessions the students have brought up some great new points, and I'm very grateful for their fresh perspectives.
