I recently purchased and am reading the iBooks version of Richard Wright's "Black Boy." There is a Yale University open course, "The American Novel Since 1940" that is available for free from iTunes University and this is the first reading. The reading list looked interesting and so I thought I'd give it a go.
Hmm, how does that course work?
Well, you can just go to iTunes and download the lectures (they're free) and play them on your computer or iPad. It's not interactive or anything fancy like that, and of course you don't get graded. But you can go at your own pace and can stop at any time. You could even pick and choose and only read the books and download the lectures that you want. Like I said, I'm only on the first book so far, but I've watched a couple of the lectures and I like the instructor.
