In fact it's a copy of Bowie's own list posted by Bowie himself on Facebook, so it's actually nothing to do with the NYPL. Using Facebook is poor judgement.

A top 100 from a library lists the books from the posting/article and will often link directly to the book within the library so that patrons can request it. In this case, it was David Bowie. It's not NYPL's list, it's David Bowie's list with links to those books at the NYPL. People asked, so he took the time to post. No different from other reading lists from other well known persons. Sometimes, a book that is somewhat obscure catches your eye from these lists, so a book you might never have read gets read and maybe gets added to your favorites.
