Don't know that anyone will care, but part of the new "David Bowie Is", exhibit at the Art Gallery of Ontario is a list of the singers favorite reads.

Curator Geoffrey Marsh describes Bowie as "a voracious reader" who is reputed to read as much as "a book a day". Marsh went on to speak about Bowie's interest in the life of the mind and its power to transcend the rigid class barriers of postwar England, the era where Bowie honed the early versions of his musical and cultural persona.

Best of all, curators Marsh and Victoria Broackes have released a list of Bowie's favourite reads. So if you've ever wanted to read like one of the most influential musicians of the twentieth century (and still going strong in the twenty-first!), check out this list of excellent books. The list shows an amazing depth and breadth of interest, taste and genre from the icon, who has himself been the subject of more than sixty books. There was never any doubt that Bowie is a genius, but if there had been, this list should more than quiet any critics.
