The summer is nearly over, which means it’s time to put away childish things and face facts: A new school year looms. Get your hair cut, sew a few new band patches on your backpack, figure out your first-day-back outfit. But why should going back to school be a drag? We put together a
members-only sale that covers the real basics, with course-catalog descriptions to match. Even if your classroom days are far behind you, it’s never too late to learn something new. More than 70 titles are included, all
$5.99 or less through Sept. 8.
Contemporary Lit
Immerse yourself in the words of the current-day bards who turn their eyes toward the endless, vital task of describing our modern condition. And don’t write your name in the books.
Advanced Composition
You new kids with your ProTools and your Fruity Loops and whatnot — it’s time to put all of those toys and doodads away and get real. Put notes on staff paper, get your hands dirty in the stuff of composed music.
Zoology
Explore the richness and wildness of the animal kingdom — hummingbrids, hawks, bonobos and beyond.
Natural Sciences
In this course, we survey all the major plant groups, and other facets of the natural world — the sun, the moon, the waves.
Political Science
Don’t just sit there; get involved! Review the syllabus below and prepare for a political awakening.
Romantic Poetry
Don’t be embarrassed. In this course, we turn our attention away from wordly affairs and sing the song of the human heart.
Philosophy and Religion
Is there a God? Where do we go when we die? Does free will exist? What is this universe
made of? In this course, we will ponder only the deepest questions.
The School Dance
Everyone at least three feet apart for the slow dances, please. We mean it. If your mom is a chaperone, don’t be a jerk; say hi. (And wipe your palms, they’re sweaty.)
Smoke Break
Don’t let anyone see us. There goes the principal. Did anyone bring gum?
