I discovered this book when I was reading an interview with Jonathan Gould and I thought it sounded an interesting read, so I bought it. Every work day, I fall out of bed a bit dazed, shower, stumble through the morning like a zombie on a bad day, and then step on the Tube to work. Cue people in a hurry, noise, bustle, pushing, complaining, stepping on feet, bags in the bum, people's armpits stuck in your face. Never joyous, the opening of Doodling struck a chord: when the world got too busy, Neville Lansdowne just wanted to step off! I know the feeling! I loved reading this book. I love quirky and it's definitely that. It's also full of interesting characters, never predictable and reads like it's dreaming a dream of purple elephants and jelly sandwiches. I recommend this book to anyone who ever wanted to just step off... and those looking for a fun, trippy, eventful read on the way to work. Now I fancy a nice crispy piece of buttered toast...
