Right now, the Art Gallery Of Ontario is hosting an exhibit called David Bowie Is, which collects artifacts from Bowie’s entire career. And to celebrate the exhibit’s opening, Bowie has shared a list of 100 of his favorite books. As someone whose many incarnations have pulled inspiration from across the cultural landscape, it’s not exactly a shock that Bowie is a big reader, but it’s still fascinating to get confirmation that, say, 1984 and A Clockwork Orange had a big effect on the man. The full list includes canonical masterpieces ( The Great Gatsby , As I Lay Dying , White Noise ), rock-crit tomes ( Mystery Train , Sweet Soul Music ), recent works ( Wonder Boys , The Trial Of Henry Kissinger ), and a 1950s annual of the British comic-book anthology Beano , as well as a lot of stuff I’ve never heard of. Check out the full list below.
