1. yes 2. yes (but not as an assigned txt, I read it because my friends were reading it and we talked about it at breakfast. Ditto Gibbons and Suetonius and stuff like that) I was in the science stream, so only did humanities up till age 16, when we covered some shakespeare (Macbeth, merchant of venice, julius caesar and a few others), lord of the flies, things fall apart, canterbury tales (which was painful for kids who mostly speak chinese at home), that sort of stuff.
Admittedly, we only covered the Reformation and Counter-Reformation rather superficially in high school in the science stream. The arts/humanities types got a lot of that. We got multivariable calculus instead (which I can no longer remember) It's all in the GCE 'A' level curriculum.
