GARFUNKEL’S LIST. Nick Paumgarten in the New Yorker for January 28 has an article about Art Garfunkel’s reading list, which is posted here. Since June, 1968, Garfunkel has been listing the books he has read. He is now up to 1023, an average of 2.16 books a month. I love top 100 lists because they give you ideas for future reading. Paumgarten takes some shots at the list (“The list contains just—just—enough low-or middle-brow work to suggest sincerity.â€) and refers to “the temptation to sneer at such ostentation.†But this is a wonderful list.

Just a heads up, Dad – you have a broken link in there. Garfunkel’s list links you to “http://http://” etc etc. You have one too many HTTPs.
I fixed the link.
Damn, Dad. You’ve got an IT Staff. I can’t compete.
I see myself as a slightly less abrasive, somewhat competent Nick Burns, Your Company’s Computer Guy (who is way too likable to be an IT guy). I’ve really got to stop with the Wikipedia links.
