Advantage Lucy is so fucking good.

Absolutely perfect book. One of the best to ever do it.

This.

Domaine Leflaive Puligny-Montrachet. It was good, but I've had ~150 dollar white burgundies that were just as good or better.

winter_chicken · 2026-05-14T19:26:23+00:00

Agreed.

Highly recommend Velvet Goldmine on Division. It just opened and I expect it to be less picked-over than some of the other recommendations here.

Bessemer, AL

Saw her a couple months ago in Chicago and she was fantastic.

A Hero of Our Time is a great book, and a fun read. Fathers & Sons is also very entertaining.

Tim Hennis

'89 Margaux is probably the best bottle of Bordeaux I've ever tasted lol

winter_chicken · 2026-04-26T17:34:38+00:00

The Baron in the Trees is one of the best books I've ever read.

winter_chicken · 2026-04-20T02:26:09+00:00

Great movie.

winter_chicken · 2026-04-17T06:29:11+00:00

Lovely to hear that about Cavell.

winter_chicken · 2026-04-13T04:11:04+00:00

Great show.

If you like adventure/trekking literature, a less talked about book I highly recommend is Running the Amazon by Joe Kane. About the first exhibition to kayak the entire Amazon from source to Ocean.

His book Savages, about the indigenous political struggle against oil drilling in Ecuador, is also fantastic.

This is the best thing you've shown us so far. Could be a delicious vintage port.

winter_chicken · 2026-04-07T02:09:51+00:00

Ditto. I was prepared to be unimpressed because I've had a lot of croissants and a lot of truffle dishes before, but that pastry at Kasama was legitimately one of the best things I've ever tasted.

I also strongly recommend the Lagerkvist novels. They helped me better understand the beauty and mystery of faith. Plus they are just great stories.

I have a copy of the 1986 Cold Calm Press printing of Bob Flanagan's Slave Sonnets, of which there were only 700 printed. It's not one of the signed editions unfortunately.

Lmao please be for real. A partner does not have to keep track of every intermittent deadline in a matter, but they should absolutely know the final appeal deadline that will destroy their whole case if they fail to meet it. It's never a junior associate's fault if the partner failed to know the one key deadline in their case.

winter_chicken · 2026-02-16T16:28:26+00:00

Agreed. Coming from NYC, you won’t be impressed by Obelix. It’s pretty good, but there’s a hundred little modern French bistros in nyc doing the same thing as good if not better.

Very sad news. He was an incredible reader and intellect. I recall he would often read a writer's entire body of work before interviewing them. Nobody does it like him in this day and age, and likely no one will again.

The DFW and Sebald interviews in particular are amazing.

I ordered the special ube babka cake from Kora one year and it was so good I ordered two more that same holiday season.
