I told him my favorite books and movies and he gave me a suggestion to put like around 4 or 5 (or less) because if he saw a list of books, it’s harder for him to get a general picture about somebody. For example, listing books like Harry Potter and The Da Vinci Code, Pride and Prejudice, etc with many different tastes wouldn’t allow him to know you better only that you were diverse. So here’s what I did: I have a favorite author. I put two books by her in one line and then two different books in the two other lines. The two from my favorite author were written in the last decade but the other two were written in the mid 1900s. This still shows diversity but more economically. And the more the adcoms have to read, the more it is a chore to them.
