Endorsements Feb 2011

Another bookclub, another round of excellent endorsements. This week they range from the foodie to the uber nerdy to the oldie-but-a-goodie category. Hopefully something for everyone.

Silo bakery in Canberra.

This excellent repository of podcasts: a particular recommendation is 'Justice' by Michael Sandell.

Stephen Fry's performance in a debate about religion.

BBC's Pride and Prejudice (and a follow-up, hijack recommendation from me, Lost in Austen).

Posh Nosh and another foodie one, Recipe Rifle.

David Sedaris in general, especially When You Are Engulfed in Flames.

The film, True Grit.

Level 2 of the Customs House library in Sydney.

The new BBC miniseries Luther: a genre-bending procedural starring Idris Elba.

Shades of Grey by Jasper Fforde.

A course on history and populations.

Endorsements Jan 2011


It's that time again - where I re-share all of the cultural endorsements of the month from my book club.

'Best Australian Essays 2010', particularly Jo Lennan's essay on Botany.

Michael Ondaatje's Divisadero

Hamlet's Blackberry, by William Powers



Sherlock (boomerang endorsement from last month)


Barambah amazing yoghurt! Blueberry was recommended as the 'gateway' flavour (! I love the idea of a flavour gateway!) and then cherry was also highly recommended too.

Sushieze, for perfect neat round nori rolls

Gertrude & Alice in Bondi for second hand books, great coffee and good food (they buy books, too).
