Update 3/31: Yeah, okay, I'm an idiot. We only need to read chapter six.
A word of warning to my classmates: I know we pushed McCloud back a week, but I took a peek at it in the library today anyway, and it's not what I'd call a quick read. You should budget at least an hour for it, probably more like two. (I don't know what the policy on renewing reserves is, so that latter option could be problematic.)
On the other hand, I've ordered a copy from Amazon which I should have (and have finished) when we come back from break - so in theory I could loan it to two people, one from Tuesday to Thursday, then someone else Thursday through Tuesday. (Although anyone who borrows it should note that, like any proper nerd, I'm rather obsessive about the condition of my graphic novels.)
FYI. :)
Thanks for the heads up!
ReplyDeleteIf I could snag it from you to borrow on Tuesday, that'd be much appreciated. I have a busy next two weeks and I could use the convenience.
I'm slightly obsessive about my books, too. I leave notes in my favorite books when I lend them out as extra warning for the possible nerdy wrath. I'll make sure there are no unnecessary creases…

How'd you find out we only need to read chapter six?
ReplyDeleteThe assignment is listed on the description page: McCloud, Scott. “Show and Tell.” Understanding Comics: The Invisible Art. New York: HarperCollins, 1993.
ReplyDeleteI just didn't think actually look at that until last Tuesday, for some reason.
