Is this a joke?  A typo?[/quote]

+1, I laughed out loud when I saw Jurassic Park on PP's list. It's a fun read for sure, though, but to study it in school?  :D [/quote]

Why not?  This is the description of the book …

Jurassic Park is a 1990 science fiction novel by Michael Crichton about a theme park on a remote island where genetically engineered dinosaurs are brought to life, which ultimately fails due to scientific hubris and chaos theory, leading to a fight for survival. The book, a bestseller that blends science fiction with action-adventure, explores themes of genetic engineering, the dangers of unchecked science, and the unpredictability of complex systems.

Genetic engineering and unchecked science if relevant right now.   Reading more than one Shakespeare is wasting valuable time that could be used reading more current novels that actually mean something.   [/quote]
