On top form here, Tom Cox is at the height of his whimsy, organising random thoughts by vague theme, rather than chronological or any other logical format.
It reads like a wonderful train of thought, leaping from idea to idea like a distracted cat.
In a good way.
Punctuated with art from his parents it feels like you're part of a club, a little bit of somebody else's life glimpsed in a fuzzy way.

Just finished the excellent NOTEBOOK by Tom Cox — a collection of witty, fascinating, reflective, and poignant bits from various notebooks. Bon mots, one might say.
After reading this, I really feel that I should improve my notebook game. I only write handwritten notes on holiday, or if I go on a course. I often write in the Notes app on my phone.

Very enjoyable little book. Lovely artwork and fun anecdotes and observations in Tom's usual style.

A walking tour of an interior landscape
Another lovely book by Tom Cox, who always manages to wrap exquisite language around experiences common and strange, leading the reader across emotional terrain, through musical streams, down feline footpaths to insightful beaches. Somewhere between philosophy and narrative, a truly delightful read.

[3.5 stars]
another lovely little book from Tom Cox, consisting of fragments from his notebooks over the years (one entry consists of a single word: “Wasps.”) i’d read about 40% of this book before, in fragments, on his Twitter (which is excellent) and in long form posts on his website (which is even excellenter), but tbh i have so much built up goodwill for Cox’s writing that i couldn’t fail to enjoy this book. if you pick this up and haven’t read Ring the Hill or 21st Century Yokel, then fix that immediately.
