Greetings!
We are on our final book, the 1915 espionage/thriller The 39 Steps by John Buchan. The class seems to like the book. Not only is it shorter, it has an engaging plot and feels more contemporary in its style. In class we discussed the the questions that each student brought to class.
If students are interested, they might want to watch excerpts from a 2008 BBC version of the book or a scene from a stage play. The movies made from this book follow the serious, dangerous tone found in the book while the plays are more farcical. We will finish the book for the last week in class.

This week, our final week together, we will finish our discussion of The 39 Steps and will also have a final exam. This exam will look more like a game of Jeopardy. No studying will be required; on the other hand, students have mentioned that treat would be nice, so they may bring something to share with the class.
