Just a reminder that if you're just joining us the bulk of the blogging about the actual book is in the January archives in the posts labeled as Chapter One, Chapter Two, etc. I was reading and blogging at that time and there are many responses from smart students and faculty. That's a good place to catch up if you're just reading the book now.
In addition, here's a note from the Chair of English, Dr. Whiting, on the film date:
"Through the Center for Life-long Learning, we will be showing the 1969 film True Grit in the Echols Conference Center on April 1st. I can provide directions if you are unsure where Echols is. The first showing of the film will begin at 9:30 and the second will be at 1. The film is 128 min. long. Here’s the link for the film at the imdb website:

"We will conduct a short panel discussion/Q & A after each showing. I plan on having a sign-up sheet at the table in the entryway and having my students sign that – I am giving my class extra credit points for attending. You all are certainly welcome to do the same. Obviously the majority of students have class that day, but you are certainly welcome to approach the showings any way that you wish, or you can ignore it too. That’s okay. April is a busy month.
"In case you are interested, you can click on the imdb link for the new version of True Grit. It is quite informative of what we can expect when the film comes on in late December. It includes a casting call for extras (we missed it!) and some other interesting tidbits.

Thanks for that update, Dr. Whiting.
