Over the next few months, expect me to start presenting new content beyond the book reviews and occasional interview. The one I'm most excited about is Crowdsourcing the Canon and its simple premise – asking students, teachers and librarians alike, "What books do you think should be on the syllabus, but aren't?"


If you want to participate, there are a few ways to let me know. You can comment here or send me an e-mail at mnudo (at) oedb (dot) org with your answers and a brief paragraph explaining why your selection (or selections!) deserves thorough academic dissection. If you're into the whole brevity thing, try the #cscanon Twitter hashtag and connect with other participants. Some of the submissions so far have been tantalizing, so you never know – I just might read and review one of your suggestions! With attribution, of course.
