Most Taught Books in College and University

For many, college is a place to explore great literature and some of the most important writing that has shaped the way society thinks and functions. Of course, many students simply don't have time to read all the great things they'd like to or should, especially while working or trying to take all of their required courses. Whether you're in college now and are looking for some quality reading material or have already graduated and want to keep learning, these books offer a chance to be entertained, educated and emerge a much more well-read individual.
