Speaking of Scotland, I've gotten back to this tome:

You Scots fucking rule.

It does mean that, but at a high school level if you take Advanced Higher English you write a dissertation. Basically just a 5000 word essay where you look at two or three books of your choice in more depth than an average essay. No where near on the same level as a PhD, but they call it a dissertation and it's worth 40% of my grade.
Also, of course we rule!

I'm re-reading A Breath of Snow and Ashes, book 6 of the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon. Highly recommended!

Room by Emma Donoghue.
It's a little bit (or maybe a bit more) pressing but also very very cute. I couldn't stop reading it and I totally recommend it!
