My personal reading list is heavily influenced by the information collected in one place at this site. Thanks, WWE!

I tend to grab most heavily from the lists like the NPR Top 100 & the Brin list followed by a heavy weighting from the major award winners followed by a lighter weighting from award nominees.

I would like to try turning what is a mostly eclectic mental process into a more rigorous one by creating a random book choosing process that is biased according to my personal wishes. To do this I would need some sort of files with the list books & award books. Either spreadsheets or text files would work best for me.

Anyone know where to find such files? Is the WWE backend database able to spit out such things?

regards,
NateT
