Don't start about college / university reading.
When at university, I had a course called "Report Writing". There was a required book that everybody had to buy. The book cost €69. Everybody expected it to be a 500 or even a 1000 page tome.
It turned out to be an "Introduction to writing reports". The entire "book" was around 50 pages long, and was written by a former teacher of that school; it couldn't be bought at web stores or book stores. It could only be bought through the school's library. Obviously, they only ever had one copy of that book that was never available.
I don't call that required reading; I call that a rip-off.
