If you visited the last Biblical Studies Carnival, then you’ll know that Joseph is reading Hallo and Younger’s The Context of Scripture (3 vols; Brill, 1997) in a year, and so am I. Charles Halton had come up with the reading schedule at New Year’s, but one could join in any time.
Is anyone else reading CoS in a year, and posting about it occasionally? If so, please let me know. I don’t want to miss out on any posts.

I’m reading. But hadn’t even thought about posting! If I do find something to say, I’ll let you know. It’s a great exercise.
I am in a short course this week, so there is no way I will be able to post tomorrow, but I do hope to catch up on Saturday or Sunday.
I’m reading. I’m both behind, and not posting on it though.
