Every Book That Art Garfunkel Has Ever Read

Like most people, I've got Art Garfunkle on my mind.

Some are concerned with where he is, or what he's doing. But have you ever wanted to know "What's Art Garfunkle reading"? Well, today is your lucky day! It's quite a list, provided by the funkle of Gar himself on his website:

Since the 1960's, Art Garfunkel has been a voracious reader. We are pleased to present a listing of every book Art has read over the last 40 years. This book list has been divided into several pages to allow easy downloading. Each page indicates the author, title, date of publication and number of pages (when available).

His first entry? The Confessions, by Jean-Jacques Rousseau, back in June, 1968. The last novel was Nora Ephron's I Feel Bad About My Neck. Hmmm, not quite Rousseau. On his favorites list, he's got the classics - Twain, Dickens, Dostoevsky, and Tolstoy; the modern icons - Roth, Updike, Bellow ; even edgier stuff for cred - Kerouac, Lethem, and Bukowski. If only he was as diligent sustaining his career, but fascinating nonetheless!
