<p>Do most students actually read the assigned reading or are SparkNotes running off the shelves at the bookstore?</p>
<p>mmm....i think that the Sparknotes are running off the shelves....
i mean, usually reading a book takes a lot of time, and time is just more than money at college, especially at Columbia, i think</p>
<p>at least thats what i usually do (although im a HS student) :)</p>
<p>I am going to be reading the works for as long as I can keep up, at least. The way I see it, I'm not forcing myself way into debt to get a sparknotes education.</p>
