The Courtship of Barbara Holt: Mark Dever, English major, has trouble talking to women. It's worse than being speechless: When Mark is interested, he speaks in blank verse, like some Shakespearean courtier. When he meets Barbara Holt, his inadvertent poetry goes into overdrive. But Barbara is not interested in some wishy-washy English major, unlike her friend Jenn, who is an English major herself. Can his friends help Mark woo Barbara successfully and, more importantly, woo Jenn? Dennis Thompson Goes On Strike: Dennis Thompson has had enough. All his life, some nameless author has been writing the book that is Dennis's life, and Dennis has decided that he's not going to play along any more. If The Author says, "Jump ," Dennis is going to say, "No." It's like Six Characters in Search of an Author, but with a twist.
