OK, here's the deal: I've ordered books for this class, but all of the readings are available online. If you feel comfortable reading your assignments on the web, copying them on to discs for later reading, printing out web pages, etc., feel free to do so. Keep in mind, though, that the online readings may not be the same translations as those in the tests assigned to the class, and that finding quotations cited in class may require a bit of work. To do your readings online, click the links after each day's assignment.
