So I am just egotistical enough to make recommendations of things about which I have little knowledge (just about everything).
Here are some things I think you should checkout (unless you want to be uncool)
Movies:
- Tsotsi - Pretty great!
- Le Samouri - French new wave meets film noir
- Homage to Catalonia, George Orwell - Orwell’s account of the Spanish Civil War and why the communists lost
- The Omnivore’s Dilemma, Michael Pollan - A book about where food comes from, and what that means
