Art Garfunkel has an odd and interesting web site, in which he lists every single book that he has read since June 1968. There are hundreds of books here, mostly fairly high-brow stuff with a sprinkling of popular books. For example, recently Garfunkel has tackled Reinhold Niebuhr, Edmund Burke, Octavio Paz, V.S. Naipaul, Fyodor Dostoevsky, and Alexander Solzhenitsyn.
With all that reading going on, the sound of silence must prevail at his house. (Double apologies for the lame joke and crusty sixties reference.)
Here’s to you, Mr. Garfunkel!
