genuinely touching voice, sort of transparent and poignant at the same time.

Walter Mischel developed this experimental situation to test kids' capacity for self-control and gratification delay. what he discovered decades later was that those who could resist for 15 minutes were better in reasoning tasks than their less resistant counterparts. just as kahneman puts it - is intelligence just reasoning ability, or is executive control a big part of it? have a laugh!

a bit like the movie dogtooth, only more candid and hopeful, being told from the perspective of a five year old boy who discovers that the outside world, marvelous as it might seem at first, is also full of repetition and rooms. i recommend it, though i have to admit, the psycho-babble was far too evident, which made the book very predictable for the last 60 pages or so

a nude body is part of nature or at least it could be, given the right amount of loneliness and the right proportion of space

it's about the time of the year when we're engrossed in "best of" lists. this song deserves a place in my music list of 2011 - a psychedelic folk sort of something. and a great video too!

I probably would have never put my hands on the book if it weren't for Franzen's heartfelt recommendation. The stories that mingle beautifully tell the story of an ever wandering teacher of seventh graders, who along the way recollects her narratives of a missed father, of an adolescence that never really lived up to the intentions and dreams she had.

the stamping dance by bartok has always been one of my favourites, but this particular version has a sensitive romanian twist to it, that makes me wanna listen to it several times in a row just to be sure it will always be there

it was him and francesca woodman who made me realize just how powerful photography can be

don't expect anything excentric, but it's the sort of song i love to hear when i'm alone in the kitchen, neither too sad, nor too happy, neither bored, nor motivated, neither extremely engaged in thinking, nor apathetic. well, you better listen to the song

this convinced me to get out of bed on a foggy winter morning. who knows who might benefit from it tomorrow?
