So, I did not actually read more than a chapter out of this book, but I paid 100 dollars for it so I am marking that I did!! I will probably skim through it eventually (I doubt I would earn anything by selling it back...) since as of now, this will probably be my focus in graduate school.
The professor SWORE that we would do WEEKLY GRADED readings from this book. He never assigned anything. I actually forgot I had it until I went to back up my apartment since I will be moving out after graduation.
I am so mad I wasted 100 dollars on this book... but oh well. Mine is a used copy from some Scottish university's library, so I think that is pretty neat at least... it makes up for the fact that I had to duct tape the cover onto it...
