-* TODO something about the point of this
+Serving as a TA for Professor Sussman will get you three things: gread
+advice, spectacular reading recommendataions, and lots of high quality
+tea. I can't share the advice or the tea, but I can compile a reading
+list. Some of the materials on this represent research paths that lead
+to unexplored terrority. Some are textbooks that express concepts so
+clearly they will change your life and make you weep for joy. I hope
+that you will get something interesting out of this reading list,
+wherever you are in life -- there's stuff I wish I knew about in
+middle school, and there are things I can't wait to read this
+summer. Enjoy! (and send corrections to reading-list@aurellem.org!)
