I think they're good for people who don't know where to start with reading (can't find something they like, etc.) but for people who already love reading, ti can be annoying when the books aren't good or they don't leave time to read what you want to read. That being said, I've never actually had required reading.
Can someone explain to me the origin of the Pat Buchanan joke? I can remember it for as long as I've been on YWS but I can't remember where it came from!
