Notebook

Tom Cox

Sinossi

The story behind Notebook starts with a minor crime: the theft of Tom Cox's rucksack from a Bristol pub in 2018. In that rucksack was a journal containing ten months' worth of notes, one of the many Tom has used to record his thoughts and observations over the past twelve years. It wasn't the best he had ever kept – his handwriting was messier than in his previous notebook, his entries more sporadic – but he still grieved for every one of the hundred or so lost pages. This incident made Tom appreciate how much notebook-keeping means to him: the act of putting pen to paper has always led him to write with an unvarnished, spur-of-the-moment honesty that he wouldn't achieve on-screen.
Here, Tom has assembled his favourite stories, fragments, moments and ideas from those notebooks, ranging from memories of his childhood to the revelation that 'There are two types of people in the world. People who fucking love maps, and people who don't.' The result is a book redolent of the real stuff of life, shot through with Cox's trademark warmth and wit.

The Conditions of Unconditional...

Alexander McCall Smith

Everyone’s favorite moral philosopher and amateur sleuth, Isabel Dalhousie, is  
back and once again finds herself facing a number of tricky situations and  
philosophical questions, both public and private. 
Isabel’s life has fallen into a comfortable and tidy rhythm. Well, as tidy as things  
can be with two small boys wreaking havoc around the house. But when her  
husband, Jamie, invites a woman named Dawn—recently embroiled in a  
contentious affair with a member of Jamie’s orchestra—to stay with them, things  
begin to go awry. Strange noises can be heard from the upper floor, even when  
Dawn is supposedly at work, and the couple wonders whether something more  
nefarious may be afoot. 
If that weren’t enough, Professor Robert Lettuce is staging an academic  
conference and has asked Isabel to publish the conference papers in a special  
issue of the Review of Applied Ethics. But something is definitely suspect about  
the funding, and it will be up to Isabel to sort it out. As the truth comes to light,  
Isabel must once more rely on her kindness, powers of deduction and  
philosophical expertise to navigate these sensitive matters.
