Deciding whether one should be a reader…
First post that states:
“read books that you don't understand. read books where you have to pay attention. read books that make you reread a page eight times to figure it out. read books that you need to take notes on. read books with words you have to google. read books that don't make sense without research on the setting. read books that make you feel stupid because otherwise you'll just be stupid.”

Juxtaposed with this post:
“Never read books you aren't sure about, even supposing that these bad books are very well written from a literary point of view. Let me ask you this: Would you drink something you knew was poisoned just because it was offered to you in a golden cup?
~ S. John Bosco”

This is clearly a painting of Mt Rainier from the paradise entrance
A painting on a wall that is clearly of Mt Rainier in Washington State, not Bulgaria. 

Caption reads: “A painting of a local mountain in the Malyovitsa Hut (1960m) in Rila National Park. The hut is part of a short ski tour above the Malyovitsa ski area, a small ski hill near Govedartsi, about 40km from Borovets, in the Rila Mountain range, Bulgaria.

The current Dalai Lama’s first regent died under mysterious circumstances after retiring, being blamed for a bombing of allegedly Chinese origin. Wikipedia has him being poisoned but some details are left out
He was found dead one morning in the apartments to which he was confined, sitting in the posture of meditation and without any sign of violent death. His teacup, however, was found embedded in one of the hardwood pillars of his room, and, what was more, the teacup had been turned inside out!

I’d like to believe that when Bourdain wrote this the reaction from other chefs was “I told you that in the kitchen! It was confidental!” Like he broke the ‘chef code’ or something images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51+...

whenever I read a piece like this from the New Yorker, I’m always struck by how they only give the people trying to create the solutions to the issue (in this case heat) a short paragraph, and instead run with “gosh this is really becoming a disaster huh
