Oxford French reading list

Well, my PPE reading list arrived on Friday. It's got 50 books on it.

Don't worry about not having a reading list if u don't get one. I met another guy on holiday who had a stack of books to read and I had nothing. Different colleges prepare you differently. Hope they send you nothing and then you can have a long break.

Thanks for the reassurance! I'll need to work all holiday anyway, in order to help fund my way through years of being a poverty-stricken student. Darn government. Anyone feel a new thread coming on...

which books does it have on it?

Ohmigod! I am beginning to think that it will be no bad thing if I don't receive a reading list! Either that or thank goodness I didn't apply for PPE!!!!

Well, I doubt they expect us to read all of it. And if they do, they'll be sorely disappointed in me...

Dude, are you actually going to read any of that?!

And why didnt you just scan the paper in, made it recognisable to word and then just copied and pasted...now that thats mentioned youre probably really pissed off..

I don't have a scanner, I could have taken photos of it or something but the effort probably would have been greater still. The list has actually come from my future tutor, and he's asked me to let him know what I actually plan to do with it, so I'll probably tell him that I'll be concentrating on A-level work for the moment and will start ploughing through the list in the summer. In the meantime if he can specify which ones are particularly useful it would help... and hopefully he'll pick up the hint.

do you only have one tutor for ppe? I thought it was three...what alevels are you doing?

There'll probably be separate tutors for each part Pol, Philo, Econ but one tutor will lead the admissions process and be the main point of contact.
