Reading List According to Sexson
I was looking through my class notes, and I thiught that it'd be cool to have a list of all the books/essays/articles/stories that Dr. Sexson has given us over the semester. So, I have compiled them here for their potential use in term papers and future scholarship. They all sound really interesting...maybe they'd be good Christmas presents. :O) Sorry for any mistakes in spelling of names or titles...I've done my best.
