First post

I've got three reading lists for my comprehensive exams (well, two, plus the promise of a third) in addition to a reading list for an independent study I'm doing this fall.  While I've got binders to organize the formal notes and outlines I'm doing for these readings, I intend to use this blog to catch my less formal thoughts as I'm reading.  And anything else which catches my fancy.  Feel free to comment back or make suggestions or tell me that I shouldn't give it all up to go form a Kathleen Hanna tribute band.
