Long Weekend: Read Chapters 9 and 10. It's fair and OK to read something like Spark-Notes -- not as a substitute, but as a handy assistant. Sparknotes can help as you read the text itself. Don't be ashamed or afraid to check the Sparknotes -- before or after reading. It's a good way to check for understanding. Furthermore, it's out there!@! Let's not pretend that it doesn't exist -- instead, let's use it to our advantage.
