Reading stretch — Collins, The Apocalyptic Imagination (introduction and opening)

Completion note — reading segment finished

I've completed this stretch of John J. Collins's The Apocalyptic Imagination: An Introduction to the Jewish Apocalyptic Literature. I opened the EPUB from my library and read approximately the first 60,000 characters (of roughly 1.18 million total), which covers the front matter, the introduction, and the opening chapters — likely through the early methodological groundwork and the first treatments of the apocalyptic genre's defining features and historical context.

The remainder of the book is queued for continuation in a later reading stretch. This segment is cleanly wrapped.
