The Planner
The Planner | Tom Campbell
6 posts | 1 to read
James is exactly what you'd expect from one of London's most promising, young town planners. He's cautious, respected by colleagues and performs well in team meetings. But while James understands the glitter and grime of the city better than almost anyone, he hasn't actually experienced much of it. And, as he watches his university friends blossom bewilderingly into rich and successful adults, he has the nagging sense that he has somehow fallen by the wayside. That is, until he meets Felix, who navigates the glamorous and cynical capital with sophisticated ease. Felix introduces James to a London that he has never known, and which doesn't feature in the planning manuals: a world of private clubs and executive football boxes; of book launches, contemporary art galleries, suburban drug dealers and dates with women even more exotic than the peculiar vodka shots they drink. But London is an expensive city in many ways, and the world Felix has opened up comes at a cost. James may know how to design housing estates and high streets, but is it really possible to redraw the masterplan for his own life? And what will he lose along the way?

Despite swearing I wouldn‘t select any more “read now” titles on NetGalley, I‘ve ended up with three more. My library holds are out of control, too. So, I took some time to calculate how many pages I have to read per day to get everything finished by the due dates. Anyone else do that or am I a weirdo? 🤪

I must say I feel a lot less stressed about the deadlines now. 94 pages a day is doable, right?

DGRachel @suvata Good to know! It‘s the first one I totally failed to even start before the publication date but I was in a mood and just couldn‘t force myself to read it. 6y
TrishB I set myself 250 pages a day! You‘ve got this! 6y
Andrew65 @TrishB That‘s a great aim! 👍 6y

Love this planner I got in Korea when I visited last year. It's full of illustrations inspired by The Little Prince, with captions and thoughts in both French and Hangul. (Conveniently, planner related words are in English. ☺️)

This is at least my second Korean published planner and let me tell you, they know how to do stationery! 🇰🇷📒🖋

TommieMarie74 I love The Little Prince! 6y

Casually looking at the library shelves and I see this book. Thought it would be about wedding planning rather than town planning. Some professions are seen as sexy, or full of drama etc and often feature in novels. Ours, well, many of us are geographers to start with and geography often has the "geography teacher" thoughts attached to it. We all just love buildings, the urban and rural form, maps ?
