    Borges intro. recommendation?

    Also try "Six Problems for Don Isidro Parodi" - light entertainment, but great fun. Since this was a collaboration it is not a part of the Penguin collections.

    Suit + turtlenecks

    Powder blue with charcoal; ecru or burgundy with navy, perhaps purple as well. It would depend on your complexion, really.

    Help buying a smart phone

    Thanks for the tips so far. I have played around with a friend's iphone and like the interface, but it is way too slow for what I need it to do. The Blackjack also caught my eye, but no wifi killed that for me. I think I am going to go with the AT&T Tilt. I'm waiting for the local store to...

    Help buying a smart phone

    Except for a *really* tight battery compartment cover, I like the Samsung Blackjack that I'm currently using with AT&T. In fact, I'm currently posting this using it tethered to my laptop while commuting on the light rail.

    Cellphones in your pants pocket

    May I suggest a lead codpiece?

    blackberry, treo, nokia communicator

    I have the Blackjack and like it a lot. It is very small and light compared to other devices with qwerty keyboards, especially with the thin battery. It is also typically very inexpensive at the AT&T stores. I have a 2GB memory card in it, which is large enough to keep a few hours of music and...

    Favorite Casual Jacket

    My current favorite is a Swedish Army jacket in grey-brown wool. Action back, slightly flared skirt, slash pockets, shirt collar, and pewter buttons. Nice slim fit too.

    patagonia?

    Patagonia products are typically extremely well made and designed for outdoor pursuits - depending on your use of them, they are eminently worth the price. They usually have a few things on sale; if you can find an outlet, the prices are even better - I get my stuff from the Santa Cruz outlet...

    Fav coffee brands and roasts?

    I roast my own coffee too - I use an iRoast 2 which I have managed to figure out a few profiles for. I get my green beans from Sweet Maria's like Dmax. I move between french press and espresso for my coffee, based on weather and other parameters. I have a Rancilio Silvia for the espresso, and a...

    Viking/le creuset

    For a similar product to Le Creuset, try Staub - I find they are usually cheaper. I use the 4 Qt La Cocotte for braising.

    Tailors in the SF/South Bay Area

    Ricardo's Tailoring in Sunnyvale works for me - he does good work. He managed to rescue some custom trousers I had tailored for me in a foreign clime - they were too baggy, and he took them in quite successfully.

    Dressing Gowns

    I have two - a cotton flannel from Lands End, and a silk Joseph Abboud. I wear the flannel one most days, and the silk one on days when we have house guests.

    The Club Dumas, any good? Anyone read it?

    I've read all of Reverte that has been published in English. Club Dumas was one of his better ones, and definitely better than that godawful film. My favourites are The Flanders Panel and The Seville Communion as thrillers with a twist. I also like the Captain Alatriste novels for a bit of...

    The Club Dumas, any good? Anyone read it?

    I knew I was missing something. Yep - Flander's Panel is better than both the books I mentioned before.

    The Club Dumas, any good? Anyone read it?

    The Club Dumas is fairly absorbing. Not "The Name of the Rose", but fun. I actually liked the Fencing Master too - not too many of the others have been as good.

    FS: Lots of Linen, Silk, and Cotton pocket squares!

    Another plug for these pocket squares. The ones in hefty silk were particularly nice, and Jamison was, as he always is, a pleasure to deal with. I'm wearing the orange, blue and white check in Sao Paulo here, while I'm dealing with a cancelled flight to Rio - Congonhas sucks!

    The Belgians do a nice rabbit in beer.

    Where can I get Johnnie Walker Blue in the Bay Area

    I could swear that they do. It would be up in the front with the registers. I'll ask a buddy works in one in San Diego. You may be right - I may have overlooked it since I don't usually drink it. I remember seeing it in Costco, though.
