Weird Things Online Part 42

If you go to Art Garfunkel's website, you can see a list of every book he's read since 1968. There are a lot of them, even for forty-four years. It's rather impressive, but also rather weird. The very first one is Rousseau's Confessions. The most recent is Fire and Rain by David Browne, which is, in part, actually about Simon and Garfunkel. But that's not typical. He reads all kinds of fiction and all kinds of non-fiction.

Of course, he presumably had time on his hands while Paul Simon was writing all the songs and playing all the instruments. Does that sound mean? It's not meant to. I'm not especially keen on his solo work, though I do like this. But he was an underrated screen actor. He was good in Carnal Knowledge and very good in Bad Timing (a film so controversial that it was denounced by its own distributor).
