Hi everyone,
Here's your weekly trove of recommendations. If you enjoy it, please feel free to forward this along to friends.
Quotes from The Overstory by Richard Powers
"Patience is the maker of all good things."
"Practice pares back the impossible."
"What we care for, we will grow to resemble."
"She must still discover that myths are basic truths twisted into mnemonics, instructions posted from the past, memories waiting to become predictions."
If you're like me and don't typically read much fiction, The Overstory is a great reminder of how creative and full of beautiful language literature can be. It tells weaving stories of people who's lived have been influenced by trees. Because it's such a long story, I'd suggest the Kindle version over the hardcover.
This collection of New Yorker inspired scenes of Tokyo
From their about page:
The Tokyoiter is made by illustration and drawing freaks who are willing to present the talent of artists they like to a larger audience. Some of us are illustrators and some are just living in Tokyo a wonderful city full of stories and daily inspiration. We want to celebrate the passion for this city and its inhabitants' story.
We hope that each cover will be a testimony of what’s make Tokyo such fascinating place to live and experience. We are sure that with this tribute to The New Yorker traditional cover art and The Parisianer, we can both celebrate illustration, cartooning, drawing, design, creativity… and Tokyo.
A couple of my favorites scenes are the convenience store with boy and sumo and the animated bidet.
One of my favorite summer dishes in Japan: Somen dipped in tsuyu sauce
