21st-Century Yokel
21st-Century Yokel | Tom Cox

21st-Century Yokel explores the way we can be tied inescapably to landscape, whether we like it or not, often through our family and our past. It�s not quite a nature book, not quite a humour book, not quite a family memoir, not quite (…more)

It‘s been a long past few months of having just enough time to function, and not enough time to focus, but I can finally say that I finished another book. There isn‘t a plot to this one—it‘s a collection of personal stories? essays? Something like that. It felt like a written version of the long walks the author takes. He‘s often funny without being over the top about it, but I did giggle to myself more than once because I could totally relate.

I finally finished a book in 2018! Dang, y'all, I was beginning to despair with all the book hopping and abandoning I've been doing, but Tom Cox provided solace with his nature memoir. As ever, Cox's writing is brimming with humor and touching observations in equal measure. This book will make you wish you could accompany Cox on one of his English rambles. And just hang out with him in general

After a frustrating morning of having to reschedule an appointment due to snow, then having my arms rendered useless from digging out of said snow, I have now had groceries delivered (with a special treat of veggie sushi), had a hot bath, and am now enjoying time with the ever-delightful Tom Cox through his latest book. It's one of those rare times I feel I'm winning at life. 🏆

kalinichta @rubyslippersreads It's lovely! I'm savoring it, and I think the structure works well for that. You can pick it up and put it down between chapters without feeling like you're disrupting anything, but there's still a cohesion to it. And like other Cox writing, it's just so damn cozy (without being twee). 🍃 7y
