The Doorbells of Florence by Andrew Losowsky
2 recommendations
"I love giving cool, hard-to-find, covetable books as gifts. This is one of them. From the website: "These alluring photographs of doorbell panels in Florence, Italy, inspired stories that imagine the lives of the people who dwell at each address. Charming, whimsical, and elegant, each story is a perfect match for its photo, balancing the antique, old-world appeal of Florence and the contemporar..."
TOKYO!
1 recommendation
"Three films in one, directed by three directors about one city. Michel Gondry (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Leos Carax (Pola X) and Joon-ho Bong (The Host) wrote and directed the films. It looks highly surreal and I will double down that it will give me nightmares. I'm not going to anticipate a cohesive story line, but it should be a fascinating and visually stunning ride."
Explicit Ills

"This is at the top of my list of movies to see this year. Talk about an interesting cast worth watching. It stars Black Thought from the Roots, Naomie Harris, Rosario Dawson and Paul Dano as residents of a poverty stricken neighborhood in North Philladelphia (Philly! Woot!). The movie follows interconnected stories of love, relationships and poverty in this slice of life American tale. Looks power..."

Amazon: Free to Be...You and Me by Marlo Thomas and Friends - 35th Anniversary Edition
1 recommendation
"My cousin Katie (although she was too young to realize she had done so) first introduced me to this book. I already knew and loved the "That Girl" Marlo, who strode down a city street in go-go boots; spun around in glee; and threw her hat in the air at the beginning of each episode. She embodied freedom, it seemed to me then . . . and now, as she re-introduces her book to a world still strugglin..."

The Holy Bible King James Version

"Pre and Post Apocalyptic tool number 1: Now, in case of the apocalypse, you'll need to grab your holy scripture of choice. Whatever it is, make sure you have it on you at all times.

Star Trek: The Next Generation

"I'll come right out and say it... TNG is my favorite Star Trek Series... and it's not just cause Patrick Stewart is the sexiest bald guy I know, and Whoopi Goldberg was just rad as Guinan (didn't you just wanna talk about all your problems with her?) Ok, I'll admit it, every time I sit in a powerful arm chair I want to lean back and say "Engage"... which is what I'm going to do with the remot..."

How We Are Hungry: Dave Eggers
1 recommendation
"This collection of short stories were my first introduction to Dave Eggers, and I'm oh so grateful to that former co-worker of mine who let me pick up the book and read 1 story. I promptly purchased the book following that experience. Since then, I've reread the various stories numerous times. The best thing about short stories written by Dave Eggers is his ability to truly capture an emotion a..."

"My obsession with paper goods, office supplies and anything promising organization, seems especially ridiculous now that my home office has been downgraded to a closet. Yes. Really. A closet. Fellow New Yorkers will understand. Still, I can't resist when a pretty lil' patterned notebook whispers in my ear. Ikat no less! Truss me up and tickle me with this trendy print!"
