Random quote: "Swords, Lances, arrows, machine guns, and even high explosives have had far less power over the fates of nations than the typhus louse, the plague flea, and the yellow-fever mosquito. Civilizations have retreated from the plasmodium of malaria, and armies have crumbled into rabbles under the onslaught of cholera spirilla, or of dysentery and typhoid bacilli. Huge areas have been devastated by the trypanosome that travels on the wings of the tsetse fly, and generations have been harassed by the syphilis of a courtier. War and conquest and that herd existence which is an accompaniment of what we call civilization have merely set the stage for these more powerful agents of human tragedy." ― Hans Zinsser, Rats, Lice and History

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
