Garrison Keillor (editor): Good Poems
A gem! Overflowing with poetic bounty. Amazing. (*****)
Rolf Gates: Meditations from the Mat: Daily Reflections on the Path of Yoga
I love anything that reminds me daily to take a moment and reflect. (****)
Alfred Lansing: Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible Voyage
You think we've got it tough? How about being marooned on Antarctica for over a year?! Love this book. (****)
Dan Ariely: Predictably Irrational
I am surprised this hasn't been more popular. The psychology of pricing is fascinating to me. (****)
M83: Before the Dawn Heals Us
A handful of compelling, sometimes inspiring ambient tunes, though non a consistent album. (***)
Bon Iver: For Emma, Forever Ago
This album snuck up on me. Haunting at times, but overall delightful. (****)
Barenaked Ladies: Rock Spectacle
Sticking with an old school theme here. Back before these guys sold out and were still distinctly Canadian. (****)
Pearl Jam: Ten
Someday soon I will get to write about why this is current for me again. For now, just pull it off the shelf. (*****)
