Nerdy Infographic of the Day: Which Cities Are Most Popular With the Literati?
See how world cities stack up to each other -- in terms of the amount of books written about them.
As Oscar Wilde puts it -- There is only one thing in life worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about. Does the same apply to cities?
Edgard Barbosa, a graphic design student from Florida, set out to visualize the amount of English-language books written about 10 world cities between 1800 and 2000. The cities chosen for comparison were: London, New York City, Rome, Paris, Chicago, Tokyo, Madrid, Beijing, Mumbai, and Cairo.
