This documentary about Gianni Agnelli is a (sometimes intense) look at the life of FIAT’s fashionable scion. I learned a lot about post-war Italy and when it’s ok to wear a watch over your sleeve–(when you have the confidence to pull it off.) Agnelli was executive produced by Graydon Carter so you know it’s good, but it might leave you with more questions than answers. For example: do I want to be WITH an older Italian man, or do I want to BE one.

Super interesting documentary that’s shot with unbelievably great cinematography. It’s about an 100 year old guy who owns the largest renaissance fair (in the world?? i don’t remember) and all the internal politics of running it and who will take over when he dies
a lot of humor and a lot of heart.

Do you want to feel EXPENSIVE for FREE? I have discovered so many new favorite songs from listening to the monthly Spotify playlists put out by The Row. I am so attuned to their cadence that I even like to think that I can tell when the unseen curator is going through it. If you, like me, can’t afford anything from The Row just consider these playlists oatmeal cashmere for the ears.

I found this book on the shelf of a small lake cabin my family used to stay in sometimes (smells like moth balls, canoe paddles as decor, bunk beds) and devoured it during our stay. This book is slow in the way that Green Card (1990) is slow. The tension builds to a romantic crescendo later in the book and you’re like oh my god!!! Nevil Shute was an Australian author better known for his nuclear apocalypse novel On the Beach that scared the shit out of me in middle school. I recommend A Town Like Alice to people as the best novel you’ve never heard of with the caveat that it was published in 1950 and has an unmistakably colonial perspective. Read it if you loved Atonement.
