Description
Excellent book-a-zine style publication. And the design makes you look smart, without adding that sort of "Wallpaper" fashionista stigma.

Genius!
If you have a love affair with the city of London, even if it's a love from afar like mine, this album is a culmination of the bleakness, the despair, the hope and the fires that have fueled the city since it was a small pre-Roman settlement.
The talent involved in this is amazing, and you're no doubt familiar with at least the work of one artist. Give it a listen, and see what sort of London it conjures up in your mind's eye.

For Emma, Forever Ago - Bon Iver (CD)

Description
Justin Vernon is an aching genius. The lo-fi longing brings to mind snowdrifts, frozen hearts, barren trees and air electric with the chill and expectation of the night.
If you are into music that's light on the instruments and technology, but heavy on emotion, Bon Iver's indie-folk album is perfect for those days and nights when the road is long and the thoughts are deep.

Yi Yi, one of the greatest movies of all time
2 people recommended this item
Description
I saw this film in a Chinese Cinema class I was taking in college, and although I didn't write the title of "Yi Yi, one of the greatest movies of all time" (that was written by another user), I won't argue with that person because this really is a great film.
It may be a bit slow-paced for some folks, but for those of you used to Asian cinema that reveals itself slowly, like a flower gently opening from bud to bloom, this is a treasure. It touches on one of my most favourite topics: the alienation of people, especially loved ones--in this case, family members.
I want to own this film, as it's utterly amazing, and I recommend watching it whenever you get the chance.

The Weekend Baker - Abigail Johnson Dodge
First to recommend
Description
This book is an amazing resource for anyone looking to start baking real food at home. I've had good to crazy-good results with all the recipes I've tried from this trusty book. Thanks to Abigail Johnson Dodge, I can whip out biscuits, ginger spice cookies and brownies with ease!
It's a must for anyone who wants to get hot with his or her oven, but needs a good primer with some solid recipes to start making tasty things!
