There are numerous literary references in Rush songs if you're interested.
Have a look at this. It's from 1995-1996, but it's a good start.
"Clockwork Angels" has also been translated into a novel.
There are all kinds of Easter eggs in Rush's work, as well. The cover of "Clockwork Angels" is a clock face with the hands pointing at 9:12, or 21:12 in 24-hour time. I'll leave the rest for you to find. It's part of the fun.
Also, Geddy Lee changed the way I thought about music in 1996 when I discovered Rush, and made me a damn good bass player because of it. I don't want to brag, but I've never auditioned for a band and lost the part. In my current band, I beat out 41 other bass players for the part, and I'm 15-20 years younger than the other guys. Geddy inspired me to sit down and work on getting good. I've been playing bass for more than half my life (since I was 13 back in 1993), and it's probably the thing I'm best at, behind my actual (and less fun) job.
In short, some people don't get it, but Rush changed my life. Band mates are second only to family in loyalty, and I've met some amazing people along the way. I don't think I would have been afforded the experiences I've had if my girlfriend when I was 16 didn't get me "Exit... Stage Left" for my birthday.
Anyway, I'm rambling. Good luck to you on your class. I think you've got lots of material to work with in studying Rush.
It's an awesome book stuffed with rare photos and scans of old tickets and promotional posters over their career, my Grandma got it for me last Christmas and it's great gift for a Rush fan, here is a link if anyone is interested

Hemispheres is one of my favorites, I have nice memories of the time that I was listening to that album a lot!
I want to suggest that you get the Different Stages 3-CD live set. It's a well-rounded look at the bulk of their catalog. I prefer many of the tracks on this set to the studio versions; they've very dynamic and the songs have had some improvements made to their arrangements since the original recordings.
Look, it's like $7. You won't be sorry.

I'm sorry but we'll need you to turn in your Rush fan card for not remembering the title of a classic like "The Spirit of Radio". :)

Alles Gute is a good "best of" sampler. Enjoy!
While the accompanying novel wasn't the best literature I've ever read, it was interesting to help bring the story in together.
​
And Headlong Flight is just awesome. Not sure what's not to get there. :)
At the risk of downvotes, I cringe when I hear 2112 done after the 70s. Geddy just couldn't physically sing it anymore. The version on AtWaS is fantastic; I love hearing Geddy switch between pained scream and his natural voice, but obviously one can't do that forever.
I recently got Rush: Classic Albums: 2112 & Moving Pictures (which I highly recommend) and there are clips of live 70s versions of 2112 next to 80s versions, and it's night and day. I honestly don't know why they showed the clips from the 80s.
Ghost Rider is the most acclaimed. But for my money, his latest book is a great $20 to spend, with all the pics and stories he tells. It's called Far and Wide, and again - well worth the $20. Here's the link....

Link to the book, "Chemistry". Great read BTW, 2010.
Contents under pressure. One of my favorites!
Yep - received the announcement from amazon this morning.
View here.
I had this book when I was younger and if I remember correctly the story went that Alex, Neil and Geddy locked the rest of the studio crew outside in the cold and recorded them yelling to get back inside. Not sure what the reality is though.
Edit: nevermind this link seems to support that it was as the others have said!

A book from the author you set an ama up with a few weeks ago
I’m guessing they are saying the video is from this:

"Rush: Classic Albums: 2112 & Moving Pictures" I'm guessing.
Ever listened to this? http://www.amazon.com/Red-Star-Tribute-Rush/dp/B00000K38P
Here's a link to her book Rhythm & Light, of which this is the cover
hey OP, is this wandering the face of the earth?

You read that right.

If you're not up for the $80 limited edition, Amazon is also selling just the hardback copy for $22.
You need to watch the video that was made from it. In fact, you need to just go buy this
It's 2112 in 5.1 (with said accompanying video)
This guy uploaded the individual sections to YT if you can't wait ;)
It's available on the site:

Unless you're talking about vinyl in which case I have no idea.
So, what I thought would be a cool thread has been shattered by the following discoveries: 5 different tribute albums:
New World Man; A Tribute to Rush
Subdivisions - A Tribute To Rush
Working Man: Rush Tribute
Red Star Tribute To Rush
Run For Cover: A Tribute To Rush
They were (are?) indeed a Game Stop exclusive though no store in driving distance of me had any plans to get them in after calling around.
Fast forward a few weeks and I searched on Amazon for the Hell of it ready to pay more if need be. Didn’t even have to think about it. Sealed and authentic for under $30 bucks. The guys are currently sitting on my TV stand front and center!
