Have you ever noticed that when you're completely stressed out you tend to buy in mass quantities? Over the past few days I've accumulated enough books and magazines to warrant a new bookcase. Here is a sample of what I bought:
Books: 
How to Put Your Book Together and Get a Job in Advertising by Maxine Paetro.
This book was recommended by C.F @ Deutsch NYC for those interested in working as a creative.
Truth, Lies & Advertising by Jon Steel
Recommended by S.J @ RPA L.A for those interested in strategic planning.
Then We Came to the End by Joshua Ferris
Recommended by L.B @ SJSU for inquisitive minds (it's a novel, a juicy one at that).
Magazines:
V - Spring 2007
It says it's The Biggest V Ever! All I care about is the working Girls spread by Mario Testino - it's fucking brilliant!
V Man - Spring/Summer 2007
I had to. I mean, it's V but with more men.
Ready Made - April/May 2007
They have a pot rack made from a bicycle wheel!
HOW - 2007 Design Annual
It was a bit pricey at $15, but it's like a who's who in the design world + it also has strategies for presenting a winning portfolio - who doesn't want that?
Cooks:
Everyday Pasta by Giada De Laurentiis
The book was my "ticket" to see her at
Sur De Table on April 21st - can't wait to gush over her.
Barefoot Contessa at Home by Ina Garten
Seriously - she needs to teach marriage counseling. I'm convinced she's the only woman in America that is qualified to do so - her husband has been madly in love with her for over 20 years and I'm betting her cooking has a lot to do with it.
Dave's Dinners by Dave Lieberman
Can I just tell you that I became totally interested in him for all the wrong reasons. But really now, can you blame me? If you can't answer this - you need to check out his show (even his website is sexy!)
Fantastic Man
The Journal
