Michael McDonald

What are you currently reading?

I am currently rereading the work of Marshall McLuhan for a conference paper I am writing. I am also reading some literary and rhetorical texts from the period in Roman imperial history known as the "Second Sophistic": Aelius Aristide, Apuleius, and others.

What are the top five texts that you find to be the most useful for teaching?

What would you be if you weren't an English professor?

I am probably unfit for any other profession, but I could also imagine myself working in the creative department of an advertising agency.
