EDIT: One more note. I’ve been asked to take over two of Prof. Chu’s classes for the rest of the semester. This means I will have to change my office hours to 2:00-3:00 on TTh, from 3:30-4:30.

As per my email, I’m changing the reading schedule for the rest of the semester. Book Two is too long to do in three days. Let’s stretch it to four, and push the last two days up one. The final paper will be moved from May 15 to the “final exam” date of 5/24.
The revised midterm is still due on May 1st, but since you’re doing that, we’ll push off the essay reading up another day.
Here’s the new reading schedule:
5/1: 206-271
5/3: 272-336 plus the first essay for your paper option (Rushdie, Su, or Bharucha)
5/8: 337-393 plus the second essay for your paper option (Booker, Frank, or Gane)
5/10:398-464
5/15: 465-533

For our reading, since I felt like we lost a little steam today, I’d just like to ask this question–what passage from the novel that we haven’t discussed (either in today’s passage or elsewhere) do you find most interesting? (Cite it.) Why?
