Well, I meant as a choice between DVDs and reading list, actually. But I'm watching Simpsons atm, so you're sort of right :smile:

No idea, I think it's because Economics is half maths, and not even Cam students read books on maths.

There were only 5 books on it. Nothing on Econometrics, guessing we leave that till we actually get there.

Nothing too bulky - Social Contract, Rights of Man and Common Sense.

There is a natsci reading list online (although it says you don't actually need to read any of them)

My friend currently doing NatSci did zero reading in the summer, apparently it's just not needed :smile:

Don't worry.

Hmm, I've read three on that list as well. One maths, one physics (although short history isn't a physics book), and one evolution.

I liked Short History of Nearly Everything. I didn't expect to, I thought it would be frothy and have no substance to it, but I actually really enjoyed it.
