Je suis tombé sur "Research : OCLC Top 1000 : Complete list - 2005". Par curiosité j'ai parcouru la liste pour voir ce qui manquait à ma culture [livres, films, musique]. J'ai commencé à vouloir faire une wishlist avec les pièces manquantes. J'ai fini avec une liste des 500 premiers (des 1000), où les gras dont faits. Et franchement je ne me sens pas particulièrement attiré par les non gras.
J'ai raison de fréquenter plus les librairies que les bibliothèques je pense.
