Battle of the Books Team
Information about the Battle of the Books meetings will be posted in the fall of 2011. Please bring your notecards with you each week. Remember to write your questions in the form, "In what book..." so that the answer to every question is the book's title and author.
In June, I will post some updated study aids for you on the Useful Links page, but remember that the BEST study aid is reading the book!
