"I remember going and Steve Poskanzer, who's in the political science department now, but he was president then, he read early, like at 8:30 or 9:00 in the morning. And I went over to hear him, and he was just reading, you know, and . . . Sayles was basically empty. So you can hear his voice kind of echoing around, and you're looking out [at] all the snow is falling. And it was just a . . . really cool scene. So anybody that was in that marathon remembers the Shandy, we called it, the Shandy Snowstorm."

"We had a visiting prof in the fall [of 2025], Tim Burberry, who did the Tolkien Herbert class... [O]n his own, he organized one for The Hobbit. And that was in the fall. But that is a much shorter book. And so it was basically the class kind of and then a few people that joined in, but they didn't need as many people. So, you know, it worked."
