REQUIRED READING

(posted by Payman)

At Farinelli's, we enjoy our reading. If the book is bound in a hard cover leather jacket that smells of rich mahogany, we enjoy it even more.

Although the following book recommendation only comes in a paperback variety, the content is enough for us to make it required reading...



Come close, so we can tell you a secret: America is the best damn country in the world, and if you don't like it, you can geeeeeeettt out! All excessive nationalism aside, America is a pretty badass country. We invented the cheeseburger, for shit's sake. Wait... Did we invent the cheeseburger? I don't know, but I'm saying we did, and because we gave the world the cheeseburger, you, as an American, need to walk around with a self-endowed sense of entitlement. They owe us.

Now that you're pumped up and loving the U.S. of A, go out and pick up United States of Americana and consider it a handbook to the old school true (red, white) and blue American way. Learn about everything from knitting to straight razor shaving. Of course, this is a fashion-related blog, so it would be foolish of me to not mention the fact that the book explores the roots of American workwear.

If you read this blog, you will probably love the book, so check it out and flip through the pages while sipping on a PBR. America!
