<p>Hmm.. what I meant is are there any books in which all majors are going to read..</p>
<p>No, not really. There is no core curriculum at Swarthmore, just distribution requirements, so your required reading will depend on the classes you choose to take.</p>
<p>Going back to the OP -- that list doesn't look like it is on the site anymore. Anyone have the list or a link?</p>
<p>Thanks! I'm asking for this because I'm a really slow reader..</p>
<p>How many pages do swatties usually read per week? Any speed reading tips?..</p>
<p>Again, it depends on the classes you are taking. I heard that for history classes you have to read insane amounts, so if you are a slow reader, maybe stay away from those ;)...</p>
<p>I get usually ~550 pages per week for my seminar (which, since the class has only one other student in it, I need to read rather thoroughly), with dramatically varying amounts in my other reading-heavy course (ranging from Posionwood Bible in a week to ... nothing). Skimming is something most people practice.</p>
<p>I couldn't find the link either- does anyone have the list?</p>
