Question

What books do you normaly read in college?

Answer 1

I agree with the second answer.  Books that are basically specific to your major, for the most part, unless you're an English major, and then it depends on what the topic of the class is and the tastes of your professors.  My favorite books that I read in college were:

The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay by Michael Chabon

The Crying of Lot 49 by Thomas Pynchon

Mother Night by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr

Invisible Cities by Italo Calvino

Labyrinths by Jorge Luis Borges

Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides

Interpreter of Maladies by Jhumpa Lahiri

The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway

Passing by Nella Larsen

Cane by Jean Toomer

Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov

The Sound and the Fury by William Faulkner

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

Answer 2

There is absolutely no way to answer this question. :( It depends on what you're going to college for, who the professor is, what the concentration is... there are wayyy too many factors.

Answer 3

I've only been in college one year, but so far I've read:

Frankenstein, Dracula, Gilgamesh, Beowulf, The Tempest, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Animals in Translation, Coming Home to the Pleistocene, and a random book on writing... I forgot what it's called.  I'm not counting textbooks here... cuz that's different.

I also read a few books about wolves for a research paper, but those weren't specifically assigned.

These were for honors classes, one on monsters and marvels, the other on animals.  I'm taking my first actual English class when school starts on the 25th.  

Answer 4

Calculus.
