A History of the Modern World, by R. R. Palmer and Joel G. Colton, was the textbook for my favorite class in high school, European History. My wonderful teacher, Mr. Norton, pushed us hard to read this challenging college-level text. For homework, we had to write brief notes on each of several topics, garnering the information from the book. I loved the book so much, I later bought my own copy -- and named a cocktail after it.
