Last Spring I used JCE for my second 102 class, this year I'll be
using 20K - using the Miller and Walter translation as well as using
parts of Dr. Chamberlin's incredible study guide for 20K. As we at LA
Tech are on the quarter system (sigh) and as I need to cover other
topics (short fiction, drama, and poetry), I have been advised that I
should probably not have the students read the entire work (I
remember having to read more when I was a Freshman, but then again,
maybe my memory has exaggerated it). I figure I could always give a
synopsis for each of the skipped chapters.

Anyway, blasphemous as the question is, what chapters do ye learned
scholars feel could be reluctantly skipped over (summarized by me)
without losing the core essence of the tale?

TTFN,
David
