"textContent": "## 1. Choosing Keeping\n\nGreat stationery shops are few and far between in London. Choosing Keeping is not the place you go for a ream of paper and some staples, it’s the place you go for the best notebook you’ve ever used, an unusual bottle of ink, or a glass dip-pen.\n\nChoosing KeepingChoosing KeepingChoosing Keeping\n\n## 2. Renate Reinsve\n\nThe Worst Person In The World prompted the hypothesis, Sentimental Value (now available in the UK on Mubi) proved it: Renate Reinsve is the best actress alive in the world today.\n\n## 3. The Hour of the Predator\n\nSpeaking of the worst people in the world, this book is a a short, sharp shock on the state of geopolitics today. Da Empoli is an ex-diplomat who creates evocative sketches of life inside the UN building, and details how monstrous autocrats get away with it. As a side note, you will never use Waze again.\n\nThe Hour of the Predator‘The Hour of the Predator’ is a timely and incisive examination of the shifting power dynamics in global politics, where traditional governments find themselvesBlackwell'sGiuliano Da Empoli (author), Sam Taylor (translator)\n\n## 4. Obsidian\n\nI'm re-visiting Obsidian, because between the Notebook Navigator plugin and Obsidian's new databases, the whole eco-system feels fresh again. I have over 4,000 notes in this thing, so I can never stay away for long. As a world-building tool, it still takes a lot of beating.\n\nObsidian - Sharpen your thinkingThe free and flexible app for your private thoughts.Obsidian\n\n## 5. William Hannah notebooks\n\nI've mentioned these before, but I blew the dust off mine when I started taking French lessons a few weeks ago. Now I have one for those lessons and one set up as a desk-pad. The paper is great, and can be re-filed at will. William Hannah is a family-run business and their attention to detail and level of customer service is second to none.\n\nWilliam Hannah LimitedIncredibly tactile Italian leather outer, vibrant suede lining and a bespoke arrangement of luxury pages inside.
