Selected from 15 years of radio-show archives and re-edited by the author, this wonderfully eclectic essay collection gives a glimpse into the thoughtful mind at work behind The Vinyl Cafe. From meditations on peacekeeping to praise for the toothpick, The Vinyl Cafe Notebooks runs the gamut from considered argument to light-hearted opinion. Whether McLean is visiting a forgotten corner of the Canadian Shield, a big-city doughnut factory, or Sir John A. Macdonald's gravesite, his observations are absorbing, unexpected, and original. With thought-provoking proposals about the world we live in and introductions to the people he meets in his extensive travels across our country, The Vinyl Cafe Notebooks is informed by McLean's intimate relationship with Canada and Canadians. Yet the collection is also an intriguing look at the writer himself--his past, his present, and his vision of the future. Sometimes funny, often wise, and always entertaining, The Vinyl Cafe Notebooks is sure to provide a wealth of reading pleasure that fans will return to again and again.  … (más)

McLean has accustomed us to his Dave and Morley stories. Here, however, he has a much more personal and intimate look at life through his musings and thoughts. Divided in several categories ranging from his travels to his neighbourhood, these insights and anecdotes are perfectly delectable. McLean has a real talent for short, simple sentences that are precise and evocative: everyone (certainly Canadians!) can relate to his little observations, his sincerity, his enthusiasm and his generosity. Bizarrely, his notes to self, which I was convinced would be my favourite, were the ones I liked the least (dismissed as being too frivolous). I loved, on the other hand, his Canadian travels, where I both reminisced about the places I'd been and discovered treasures I have yet to visit.
A wonderful, peaceful and lovely moment with one the greatest storytellers I know. ( )

It was a nice change to read something by Stuart McLean that was a bit out of the ordinary. Being able to practically hear his inflection while you read adds a lot - so this is definitely a better read if you're familiar with the Vinyl Cafe. Overall, a nice way to while away a few hours. ( )
