Is that a pre-google list kept up for posterity along with the rest of his Stanford page? Because that's a lot of books for someone that age even to have read, let alone to be his favourite subset of the books he has read.

A bunch of 'em seem to be listed twice, in immediate sucession, though, which is weird.

The source says the page was created on Jan 14th, 1998 and it was created automatically from hundreds of sources on the web.

OK, mystery solved. I didn't think he could have possibly read quite that many books by his early twenties, especially given that he was doing a bunch of other stuff at the time.

However, yeah, having Mein Kampf on a list entitled "My Favorite Books" is a bit embarrassing.
