What are your thoughts.

But as long as we're telling stories, here's my most recent Strange Encounter with the Unread:
At the end of class on Thursday, I explained the assignment for next time. First, read a section of the book. Second, do an exercise based on that section of the book.
One of my students asked, "Do we have to read the book?"
The student wasn't making a joke.
I dont' get it!!! I really don't!!! They're hobbies people, at least ours educate us!!! *blows raspberry at exes*They said I was 'wierd and there's something very wrong with someone who reads so much and uses language and words the way I do'. I thought it was funny how being fanatically attached to golf and dissapearing for days on end was acceptable though.

My cross was Property Law. I swear I'd pick the book up and immediately start yawning and want to sleep.jackokent said:Criminal justice sounds fascinating. A lot of mine were on company law - they were like pulling teeth. I defy anyone to enjoy them.
