PROUST!
Walter sez: THIS IS THE GREATEST INTRODUCTION TO AND NOSTALGIC REMINICSENCE OF PROUST EVER WRITTEN!!! :-D :-D :-D

if there is only one book on Proust one reads it's got to be this one.... 8-) 8-) 8-)

and if one NEVER reads any Proust, or wants to read any Proust, this is the book to read!.... ;-) ;-) ;-)

This funny video: Rachmaninov's big hands

This comprehensive study: The Classical World: An Epic History from Homer to Hadrian by the great Robin Lane Fox. Walter says you can trust Robin cuz he's one of the few who've attempted the mighty task: wrote grand books on Alexander the Great.

Also some super stuff from this article from physicsweb.org on the beauty of equations ~

From NPR this week, Walter recommends this insightful program on the ancient roots of modern science and yes oh yesthis other hot one about the oldest solar observatory (about 1,800 yrs BEFORE the sun-loving Incas!)
