Required Reading
space
space It's a swinging world of hipster books and swinging 'zines. So much to read, but so little time. Vik's Lounge presents a little required reading. Essential resources for sounds, style, cocktails, culture and more, they are the starting point for those new to the scene and field reports for the seasoned swinger. What makes these "required"? Other than Vik's humble opinion, all of these books and 'zines consistantly provide valuable information by dedicated writers looking to preserve and cultivate the history of hip for future generations. Vik raises a mai tai high to all of these authors and editors and encourages everyone to try their hand at chronicling their specialty.
