Recomendo book<\/strong>
\nThis may be the coolest and most meta recommendation we\u2019ve made yet: the best of Recomendo is now available as an inexpensive book on Amazon. We gathered the best 550 recomendos from this newsletter and grouped them by subject, laid out in 95 pages, printed on paper with QR codes for links, and sent to your mailbox in 2 days for $9.99. This book form of\u00a0Recomendo<\/a>\u00a0is incredibly handy, and an ideal, practical gift for almost anyone, and the happiest book I\u2019ve ever made. If you like this newsletter you\u2019ll love the book. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n

Newsletter about the Art of Noticing<\/strong>
\nWriter and New York Times columnist Rob Walker has a\u00a0book coming out in May called \u201cThe Art of Noticing: 131 Ways to Spark Creativity, Find Inspiration, and Discover Joy In the Everyday<\/a>\u201d and he has relaunched his\u00a0wonderful grab-bag newsletter<\/a>\u00a0of cultural signals, trends, and curiosities to promote it. I look forward to every issue. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n

Waste some time<\/strong>
\nBefore the year ends, check out this list of the \u201cBest Websites for Wasting Time in 2018<\/a>\u201d by HubSpot. I didn\u2019t even know there was an\u00a0Oregon Trail<\/a>website! All those rainy days in elementary school came flooding back to me. The\u00a0OCEARCH Shark Tracker<\/a>\u00a0is pretty cool too. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n

Big ideas in conversation<\/strong>
\nThe economist Tyler Cowen has been a prolific blogger; he is now a prolific podcaster, and one of my favorite interviewers of big thinkers. A really great example of his craft is his interview of David Brooks, the political pundit and op-ed columnist at the New York Times. Their fun public conversation, recorded as a\u00a0podcast<\/a>, about the necessary moral dimension of life, and the role of religion in modernity, is super important, but often not talked about. But any\u00a0Conversation with Tyler<\/a>\u00a0is engaging. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n

Vintage Kids Book about the Human Body<\/strong>
\nI love the old large format Golden Books about science, math, and technology. The color illustrations are stunning, and the text is accurate and still valid, decades after they were originally published. You can get \u201cThe Human Body: What It Is and How It Works<\/a>\u201d from 1959 for about $6. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n

Engineering gift guide<\/strong>
\nWhen it comes to giving gifts to the kids in my life, I prefer to not buy toys that are trending now but will become junk in a few months. For the holidays, I\u2019m planning on buying from the\u00a0Engineering Gift Guide<\/a>\u00a0from Purdue, which has a lot of inspiration-inducing gifts for boys and girls ages 3-18. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n
