For those, like me, who have not received their copy of the book yet, you can go to google books and type in “Memory, History, Forgetting.” and click on Ricoeur’ book. A lot of the book is available in digital form. I’ve been using this to follow along. The irritating thing is I cannot mark passages for later reference.

I’m primarily here for the history. So, it will be nice to have people explain what I just read. )

I’m glad to delay things a week since I’ve got several other things going on this week, and I’m still hoping to write up some more thoughts on this first chapter (from the looks of it, the second chapter will be a much easier read).

When I get around to it, I’ll try to transfer the reading schedule to a new tabbed page for easier reference and updating (where the old Girard reading schedule is now).

While I’m on the board for a second, I’ll let everyone know that I probably won’t be able to post anything for this week. I was laid up flat on my back most of the week, and then had company for a few days after that. I have not even looked at Ricoeur this week. The schedule will just be bumped one week.

Justin, glad to have you. Use html tags for text italics and other text formatting—try looking here, or:

[less than sign] i [greater than sign] text to be italicized here [less than sign] /i [greater than sign].
