<p>Should you include the authors of each book?</p>
<p>Most book titles aren’t reused. And authors take up characters.</p>
<p>Some things on my list:
Books: Flatland, The Elegant Universe
Published: Scientific American, MaximumPC
Online: Engadget, xkcd 
Movies: The Social Network, Inception</p>
<p>Too bad I didn’t see Tron till yesterday, I loved that movie…</p>
<p>The required readings part shouldn’t have been too hard.</p>
<p>Ahaha KtK we have the exact same thing for websites!! I especially love the xkcd forums as well, as a recommendation if you’ve never checked them out.</p>
<p>uh nne…I’m pretty sure he was just using it as an example lol</p>
<p>My question still stands.</p>
<p>Dan Brown is not a bad author!
I take personal offense in that!
Digital Fortress was one of the best books I have ever read…
but anyways, i really disliked The Da Vinci Code but i loved Angels and Demons (strange? i think not)</p>
<p>I put those three and a bunch of others- weird ones and normal ones.
I think they want to see that your interests match the books you read but that you also read things that dont exactly fit your story- e.g. if you want to be a doctor but you read John Grisham (as I do).</p>
<p>but anyways, this probably wasnt much of a help considering technically its already the 31st and that Im just a regular applicant whose dream it is to make it to Columbia.</p>
<p>collegeftw got in, but i wouldnt trust his opinion entirely because who knows what got him in- he certainly doesnt i can guarantee you that. and it would also be ill advised to copy his actions because he got in- that wouldnt necessarily get YOU in, as it did him.</p>
