Ooh, we read GGS for AP World History! I confess, I love it--I've stolen my granddad's copy. I've read The Third Chimpanzee, also by Jared Diamond, and I loved that as well.

<p>I may have enjoyed it now, but it was a class of 13-15 year olds who really didn't care about Yali's question, haha. I would pick it up to reread it, but I was complaining about it one day and my English teacher asked if he could have it. So now it rests behind his weird bookshelf behind the sliding whiteboard.</p>
<p>Nearly all the books mentioned here that we never read in my school I've read for leisure. I'm starting to wonder whether there's something wrong with me. My teacher almost had us read GGS but instead we watched the television/movie series for it. I probably would have enjoyed the book. But, the series is a bore.</p>

<p>My regular and AP English classes have different curriculums so we read different books at the same time. We'll probably read another 4-5 before the year ends in AP, and another 2 in regular English.</p>

<p>Oh, that's unfortunate. My teacher essentially shoved it at us midyear, told us to read it on our own time, and had a discussion on its concepts. We also got Yali's question--by itself!--on the first day of class.</p>
<p>I feel deprived of an education after reading your guys' lists. At my schools we read probably 2-3 books a year (mandatory), but i read more on my own time. You guys seem to read awesome books. </p>
<p>In my AP english lit class, we read a book every 2 weeks, and we've read a ton, but my favorites have been Don Quixote and Paradise Lost</p>

<p>It's so true... reading for school just removes the fun and mystery out of any book for me. All I think about is contributing to discussions and making premature outlines for an essay.</p>
