Here's a list of books that have been recommended to me in the last six months from a variety of good sources. Most of them are on the subject of art and aesthetics, but there are a few novels and cookbooks tossed in the mix as well.
I'm an obsessive note-taker. Every six months or so, I fill up a new Moleskine notebook. My favorite little black book is filled with everything from lecture transcriptions to post-interesting-conversation thoughts to book/music/film/artist recommendations to terrible sketches (where I'm trying to get some idea across to Murray, usually the facing page contains a much better sketch where he tries to clarify what I mean) to outlined writing projects to proposed routines to to-do lists to estimates for a new left rear window regulator ($362 — yowza).
Sometimes I think my notebook contents make for pretty interesting blog fodder, so I'm instating an occasional new feature: From the Moleskine. First post up next.
