My presentation...

... is actually a "Report." On a book. Therefore.... it's a book report! Yeah grad school.

In fact, putting it together was kind of fun. There's a certain dignity to the task of summarizing a book for others who aren't going to read it, of picking out the important ideas, isolating themes and patterns, understanding what's there well enough to abstract it into bullet points, without trying to possess it through interpretation.

I want to read your book report, or at least your bullet points. Can you send them? Or better yet, blog them!
