THE BOOKSHELF
recommendations from me and friends
“The best moments in reading are when you come across something – a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things – which you had thought special and particular to you. Now here it is, set down by someone else, a person you have never met, someone even who is long dead. And it is as if a hand has come out and taken yours.” — Alan Bennett, The History Boys.
THE STEREO
new music, gig and podcast reviews
“Art is how we decorate space, music is how we decorate time.” — Jean-Michel Basquiat
THE STAGE
“I regard the theatre as the greatest of all art forms, the most immediate way in which a human being can share with another the sense of what it is to be a human being.” ― Oscar Wilde
THE SCREEN — coming soon
“Movies touch our hearts and awaken our vision, and change the way we see things. They take us to other places, they open doors and minds. Movies are the memories of our life time, we need to keep them alive.” — Martin Scorsese.
THE KITCHEN
table talk: the restaurant reviews
“One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well.” — Virginia Woolf, A Room of One’s Own, 1929.
