we asked participants in the group to do a little brainstorming and think of fun future readings. we can always add more to the list (and we intend to since most current events readings come unexpectedly from any number of website). if anyone wants to add to this list you are free to do so at any of the weekly meetings we have. here are the initial results.

7pm POTLUCK! (and the reading) for 8-6
come at 7pm and bring tasty treats and party with your pals. all the lovable rascals will be there!
at 8pm we will discuss Plato’s Phaedrus. it is a long essay/dialogue so we are breaking the discussion into two parts (pages 506-533 and pages 534-556). we will read the first half first and the second half second. genius!
note: for the thuggish nerds who care, the translators for this particular version are Alexander Nehamas and Paul Woodruff… i hope this means we won’t have to face your wrath.
