A list of David Bowie‘s 100 favourite books has been revealed by curators of the David Bowie… Is exhibition in Ontario, Canada.

The exhibition recently opened at the Art Gallery of Ontario with curator Geoffrey Marsh keen to show was a “voracious reader” Bowie is, claiming he reads “a book a day.” Included on the list are works by authors such as Don DeLillo, Christopher Hitchens and Tom Stoppard as well as literary classics like George Orwell’s ‘Nineteen Eighty-Four’ and ‘In Cold Blood’ by Truman Capote. Satirical British comic Viz also appears on the list. The full list of titles can be seen here.
