I am just in awe of this. Art Garfunkel has a page on his website sharing his reading logs from 1968-2012. That’s right, FORTY FOUR YEARS worth of book lists. It makes for fascinating perusing over a cup of tea and wow, he’s well read. I am hoping Fifty Shades of Grey being marked as one of his favourite books of 2012 is a joke though…
Someday I’d love to be able to point at a similar list myself. :)

Wow, that is interesting. I was looking at it and wondering: where is the trash? Where are the airport thrillers and How To Marry A Vampire Millionaire? I’d really like to know how he chooses his books and what he reads for frivolous fun (his list looks like hard work to me but ymmv). Although, maybe he doesn’t – different media for different moods.

Perhaps his magazine collection is probably nothing but trashy magazines about UFO abductions and Justin Bieber fanzines… Somehow I doubt it though.

I love this. It’s funny how your post came out when I was thinking it would be great if I’d have kept a list of all the books I’d ever read. Just to see the variety and to re-read the best. I will have to share this.

I felt guilty looking at it for all the gaps in my own reading logs – I haven’t even got eight years complete!

Wow, that’s awesome! Thanks for sharing. I hope I have a lot like this when I’m older.

Wow. I’m on my fourth year of logging so a long way to go! There’s a lot of classical fiction but it’s pretty eclectic age-wise. I’d agree that 50 Shades being a favourite looks a joke.

What an impressive list, and another reason to love Art Garfunkel! I started a reading log in 1998 and love to look through it once in a while. I have not kept it up since I began blogging (that was, theoretically, why I started the blog) but I should really enter my books since 2008 and keep it going.
