The Great Gatsby

Book Favorite

"This has the harsh tone of fictionalized life, and Jay Gatsby’s experiences draw heavily on Fitzgerald’s descent into alcoholism, and his wife Zelda’s succumbing to mental illness. Nobody in the English-speaking world has been able to write sentences like this author."

Wish I Could Write A Love Song by Chas & Dave

(0 Ratings)

Track

"Chas and Dave aren’t really obscure but I’ll have to go with them. The song, I Wish I Could Write A Love Song. It’s so good, so English, the Cockney accents, it’s just perfect music. I’m a big Chas and Dave fan."

Eric Ripert recommended Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly in Books (curated)

"“Kitchen Confidential” was the first book I ever read in English. I love that Tony’s world in the kitchen was filled with pirate-like renegades when mine was peopled with regimented professionals. How eye-opening and entertaining to read about the other side! "

"Heavy tweeds, craven pot smoking, paranoia, and Wellingtons, set in the mucky English countryside. It established my Anglophilia at age fifteen; I memorized Hamlet’s soliloquy by multiple rewindings of the final scene; and I still have a major crush on Paul McGann."
