Saving Time: Discovering a Life Beyond the Clock by Jenny Odell is a groundbreaking exploration that invites readers into a transformative journey beyond the constraints of conventional timekeeping.

This visionary sequel to How to Do Nothing has not only captivated audiences but has also secured a place on The New York Times bestseller list. Odell’s work critiques our society's obsession with productivity and profit, revealing how this relentless race against time has shackled our personal well-being and the health of our planet.

In Saving Time, you will uncover:

  • Innovative Models for Living: Strategies that prioritize human connection and ecological sustainability over profit.
  • Insights on Time Management: Practical advice to reclaim your time for a more fulfilling and balanced life.
  • A Vision for the Future: An optimistic perspective that encourages a recalibration of life’s priorities.

Acclaimed by literary figures as “an inimitable gift” and “one of the most important books,” this seminal work challenges you to step off the hamster wheel of life. Odell draws inspiration from nature’s diverse rhythms—be they pre-industrial, ecological, or geological—to propose revolutionary ways to rethink our relationship with time.

Embrace profound reflections and actionable insights that not only aim to transform your understanding of time but also inspire a more humane and hopeful existence. Discover how to live a life liberated from the relentless ticking of the clock with Saving Time: Discovering a Life Beyond the Clock.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.

This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.

Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
