I'm teaching Freshman Comp II right now (which is the literature semester), so we're reading good stuff. Doing a tour of the Jim Crow South right now: Faulkner, O'Conner, Ellison and about to move into more modern stuff. I've been starting every morning off reading a good short story. I think I'm finally developing an authentic fondness for Faulkner. "Barn Burning" just kicked my ass this morning.
