Yep, this is why an Ivy League education is superior. All this is read and analyzed (including lit hum) by the end of your sophomore year.

>>1308243
Hey faggot don't feel special, I read most of these in high school and I analyzed many. I just used my library card.

>>1308246

don't fool yourself

>>1308248
Ivy League Education. 900k books to start. Any library card I want.

>>1308252

i'm just saying, i've attended both state and ivy league schools in America and columbia was hands down the better experience. the state school couldn't even hold a candle to it. instruction, guidance, discussion, etc. i found great value in that.

>>1308259
Yeah, because you like being led about. You would find great value in a mistress I know too--she will give you instruction, guidance, discussion, etc. Lol just yanking you I'm sure columbia was great. (Didn't know it was Ivy League though..)

>>1308259

I think he got your point. However, if you need a fucking Ivy-League education to read and analyse those, you're a fag.

Also: you're going to be reading Kant.

HAH.

It's pretty fantastic how nobody can structure a fucking sentence properly in here, too. I bet none of you go to college, really. ;)

they're all mine, sorry for not pastebinning them OP, i only saw one anonymous's comment about doing that after i'd finished. the idea has slipped my mind.

i have another lecture with the same amount of reading however no PDF to copy and paste from, and i'd rather not type it out manually, sorry OP.

Hope this helps though

No worries, thanks for sharing it.

It's great stuff.

Dolt. The Cambridge list isn't actual class reading; it's recommended reading. What the Columbia dude posted was reading that was actually analysed in class. That is not the case with Cambridge. Oxbridge do that with all of their courses -- for English at Oxford, for example, you get a *huge* reading list that no one can possibly finish, and it doesn't really matter if you don't.

Dolt.

>>1308334
I flunked school 'cos I'm hardcore.

Books you go through in Cellular & Molecular Biology Candidate and Master's degree (7 years or so so), University of Jyväskylä:

Campbell Biology (the basic book of everything)
Alberts Molecular Biology of the Cell
Lehninger Principles of Biochemistry (or lehninger's bible, considering that we're pretty much required to memorize it through and through)
Brock Biology of Micro Organisms
D. Sheehan Physical Biochemistry
Janeway's Immunobiology
Principles and techniques of biochemistry and molecular biology
Histology: A text and atlas with correlated cell and molecular biology (not all, just for one course)
Housecroft's Chemistry
Smith Organic Chemistry (about half)

Coupled with course-specific material, that's somewhere around ten thousand pages, give or take a few thousand. You lose track really.

oh, god no

This thread is pretty much over now so I don't mind risking Tybrax reappearing. Anyway, why can't we stop Tybrax from coming here? Can't we appeal to Moot or something? This is just ridiculous, Tybrax ruins EVERY thread. With ONE post too. Tybrax is cancer.

>>1309162
Tybrax?

Anyway, this thread doesn't have to be over, 8 hours later there must be some new students to see this.
