A Gen X Journal: My Brain Still Runs on Cassettes by Chris Thompson, featuring a vintage cassette tape
A Gen X Journal

My Brain Still
Runs on Cassettes

Your brain has room for every song on that old mixtape. Apparently, that leaves very little space for appointments.

A funny, practical journal for anyone who remembers recording songs off the radio and hoping the DJ would stop talking.

By Chris Thompson · Book Man Publishing

Old-school memories. Somewhere to put new ones.

You remember every lyric.
Now write down the other stuff.

Part useful journal, part Gen X time capsule. Every lined page includes a different memory, question, fact, funny observation or retro cultural reference. No rewinding required. Just write it down.

01

110 Lined Pages

Room for notes, lists, reminders, ideas and occasional rants. Because “I'll remember that” has a pretty terrible track record.

02

Gen X on Every Page

A different Gen X extra on every page brings a little humor and nostalgia to whatever you need to write down.

03

More Than Mixtapes

From scratch-and-sniff stickers and Weebles to Rock ’Em Sock ’Em Robots and Atari joysticks, the flashbacks go beyond your cassette collection.

04

For Your Analog Brain

No charging cable, password reset or software update. Just a pen, a page and a fighting chance of remembering why you went to the store.

05

A Handy 6 × 9 Size

A practical paperback size for your desk, bag or bedside table. Keep your notes close when your mental filing system needs backup.

06

A Gift That Hits Play

A fun birthday present, stocking stuffer, gag gift or office gift exchange surprise for the friend, spouse or coworker who still knows what was on Side A.
