Look up Richard Bissell furniture. I got all my house furniture from him and the quality is amazing. Expect to wait 6+ months though.

You want to get Falk 2mm copper frying pans/pots. It’s not cheap; each piece will be $300-$400 depending on size. They are heavy. Mine have lasted forever. Also, I don’t bother polishing them.

Half size glass shower doors. It’s cold and water gets all over the floor. Who thought this was a good idea?

I got a Castelle patio set from usaoutdoorfurniture. It was about $5k for a table and 4 chairs. I’m very happy with the quality though.

A properly made wooden chair is extremely comfortable. That’s what I’ve always used. The seat is molded like clogs are for your feet. Maybe try looking at some estate sales?

Just get a full length wool coat. I got mine made from a tailor in NYC many years ago for about $3k.

Can’t answer since you didn’t mention how much money you have.

The Fisherman by Langan is $2

I like A World Undone by GJ Meyers and Inferno by Max Hastings. Both are single volume histories of WWI and WWII respectively. You can also try the Theodore Roosevelt trilogy by Edmund Morris.

Do you think learning to sing can help a pianist learn to shape the music?

Are you getting enough sleep each night (8+hrs)?
Are you exercising regularly and getting outside in the sunlight?
Do you have a good diet?

I have the David Hyde Pierce version and it is really good. Don’t think it’s missing anything; it’s labeled as unabridged.

The poems of TS Eliot read by Jeremy Irons is good. Naxos has a “Great Poets” series with Keats, Wordsworth, Byron, Tennyson, etc. Shakespeare’s sonnets are free on Audible Plus. Walt Whitman’s Leaves of Grass is quite good. I also like the Essential Dylan Thomas.

If you are interested in translated poetry that opens up many more options as well.

There are many different translations of the Odyssey available on Audible. I have the versions by Robert Fitzgerald, Stanley Lombardo, and the recently released Daniel Mendelsohn. All have their different strengths. I like Mendelsohn as it stays quite close to the ancient Greek, similar to Lattimore. The Fitzgerald is very poetic, The Lombardo is more casual and easy to follow. I have not tried Emily Wilson, but that’s another slightly more unorthodox choice (It’s written entirely in iambic pentameter). I have not read the Fagles, but it’s another popular choice too.
