   One of my favorite books of all time is Organic Chemistry by Wade et al. Sadly, that book is a monster of a book.

   It's possible that your college had a different focus in Organic Chemistry that involved less memorization, and more conceptualization?

   Here is one typical text for Organic Chemistry: http://www.amazon.com/Organic-Chemistry-Paula-Yurkanis-Bruic...

   Roughly the same as yours?
