David Bowie's Favourite Books - His Reading List, Mapped

"I'm a real self-educated kind of guy," Bowie once said. "I read voraciously. Every book I ever bought, I have. I can't throw it away." This print unlocks that side of him, an infographic designed with visual nods to Blackstar, his final album, mapping the books that shaped one of music's most restlessly curious minds.

It ranges from Lolita and A Clockwork Orange to Blast, the literary magazine of Wyndham Lewis's Vorticist movement, and Orwell's 1984 alongside more obscure and genuinely strange works of fiction, poetry and philosophy. Bowie's reading wasn't a side interest, it was as central to his creative process as any record collection, and this print treats it with the same rigour you'd expect from a discography map.
