Supplemental reading for the final read choice.  As you read your book, you might consider the "origins" of the problems each present.  I found this NPR article on loneliness interesting in thinking about how people connect to each other and to groups, and how we identify ourselves.

Being "Not Rich" at UM is a google doc that I referenced in class and was part of this week's advisory discussion.  While it is college specific, it has some interesting content in general about navigating a world where you don't have the security of money.

Final Read Choice "mini-test" will be Tuesday, May 8 for all classes.
