Every book that Art Garfunkel (from Simon and Garfunkel) has ever read
- answerly 18y agoDo you think this could be as big as Oprah's book club?
- manny 18y agoNo, the books he likes seem to require way more intellect than the average book on Oprah's book club.
- pg 18y agoThis is a very interesting list. One of the most surprising things to me is how consistent it is. He doesn't seem to change much. It's as if his algorithm the entire time was to choose at random from the Penguin Classics. One could do a lot worse.
- tc7 18y ago6 more Harry Potter books to go...
- bkj123 18y agoat first I thought "are you kidding me, someone actually tracked this?" and then I found myself being by pulled by an invisible force to find how many pages he read from his "favorites" - 50,623
- grouchyOldGuy 18y agoWho keeps track of the books that they've read? And why? I can think of better ways to spend my time.
- JoelSutherland 18y agoIt seems interesting and the ratio of recording the book to reading the book is favorable...
- tricky 18y agoErr... It takes about 5 seconds per book. You finish a book, you write it down. I've been doing this for years. Sometimes it is fun to look back and see all the books I forgot I read.
- kirpekar 18y agoEven simpler. You read a book, you shelve it in your home library. A new shelf/section every year.
- mnemonik 18y agoThats nice if you have the luxury of space and don't ever trade books in for credit at second hand stores. Sometimes its nice to pass a book on to someone else after you have read it.
- pg 18y agoI do. I heard in HS that some colleges asked for a list of what you'd read in the last year, so I started keeping track, and never stopped. The problem for me is that I rarely read books cover to cover anymore. Novels, yes, but you wouldn't read Gibbon that way.
- AndrewWarner 18y agoIncredible. I wonder if he kept notes on what he learned from each book. I've wanted to do that.
