Every reader goes through phases with their selection habits. Last year, for example, I wanted as little to do with the modern world as possible, for reasons I’m sure you can understand. I didn’t want to read anything set in the last decade and I certainly didn’t feel like reading any dystopian novels written to reflect an ominous future. I wanted out of these times and, for about nine months, out of this place as well. Escapism. Nostalgia. My fiction intake was a pretty steady diet of P.G. Wode…

I like to know what professional eaters truly love to eat. I’ll gladly watch Padma Lakshmi eat her way across America or Anthony Bourdain explain the world through food, but it’s when I learn what those people eat away from the camera that I tend to focus on an item and associate it with them. Bourdain went to a lot of places, but there’s something about his childhood hot dog stand in New Jersey, Hiram’s, that sticks out to me most of all his journeys. One day I’d like to make sole meunière beca…

One of the pinnacles of internet prankdom was reached in 2014, when comedian Jon Daly convinced the unsuspecting masses that the Red Hot Chili Peppers had released a song called “Abracadabralifornia” in anticipation of the band’s upcoming Super Bowl performance. It was a low-stakes joke, a funny way to sum up what one of the quintessential 1990s bands had turned into in the 21st century: a mishmash of Anthony Kiedis word-soup set to music that, in hindsight, sounds like it was played by a Chili…

Owning a David Hockney painting is, well, costly. Unless you’ve got millions — and sometimes 10 of millions — of dollars sitting in your bank account, there’s a pretty good chance one of the English artist’s paintings won’t be hanging on your apartment wall anytime soon. There is another option, however. One that won’t even require you to nail holes into your wall. Taschen just published Window to the World, a collection of 120 of Hockney’s iPhone and iPad drawings printed in large format. Like…

This is Stuff We Swear By, a new series in which our editors expound on an item they use (and love) on a daily (or near-daily) basis. Item: Bearaby Cotton Napper Description: A weighted blanket that doesn’t feel heavy and lets you breathe. That, and you can actually wash it, unlike a lot of other weighted blankets. How I use it: Well, I sleep under it, obviously. But the important thing to note is that I’ve never slept as well as I have since getting it. Over the past few months, from…
