Do you think this could be as big as Oprah's book club?

No, the books he likes seem to require way more intellect than the average book on Oprah's book club.

This is a very interesting list. One of the most surprising things to me is how consistent it is. He doesn't seem to change much. It's as if his algorithm the entire time was to choose at random from the Penguin Classics. One could do a lot worse.

at first I thought "are you kidding me, someone actually tracked this?" and then I found myself being by pulled by an invisible force to find how many pages he read from his "favorites" - 50,623

Who keeps track of the books that they've read? And why? I can think of better ways to spend my time.

It seems interesting and the ratio of recording the book to reading the book is favorable...

Err... It takes about 5 seconds per book. You finish a book, you write it down. I've been doing this for years. Sometimes it is fun to look back and see all the books I forgot I read.

Even simpler. You read a book, you shelve it in your home library. A new shelf/section every year.

I do. I heard in HS that some colleges asked for a list of what you'd read in the last year, so I started keeping track, and never stopped.

The problem for me is that I rarely read books cover to cover anymore. Novels, yes, but you wouldn't read Gibbon that way.

Incredible. I wonder if he kept notes on what he learned from each book. I've wanted to do that.
