Recommendations

On a walk during the first days here with four of my co-residents our conversation was peppered with references to authors, artists and movies. This struck me as one of the ways that we were getting to know one another and that, along with my cataloging instincts, led me to collect the following list of recommendations from each resident + two of the Djerassi staff (Celia and Alice). I began the list the evening of that first walk and the last entries were provided yesterday.
