Back to School: Author Edition

A number of colleagues are looking to start their fall semester this week and next; myself, I’m completing final drafts of my syllabi today for classes beginning on Monday.  As I’m going through the annual struggle to make final selections of texts and authors, I thought I’d reach out to potential TMWWE contributors and readers:  what texts and authors are you particularly excited to be returning to this semester?  what texts and authors do you find yourself perennially struggling with?

Please share in the comments!  And would-be contributors:  take note of the conversation and chime in — it might provide some helpful insights into the kinds of essays TMWWE readers would find especially useful, and assist with shaping your proposals.
