“No Time Like the Future” was the first Autobiography/Memoir I’ve ever read, it just was never a genre I felt any interest in. Somehow though the marketing of this particular book got to me and now I finally ended up reading it. I started this last year, in line to get my second Covid shot, and put away quite quickly and a little scandalized. Again, this was my first Memoir, and I felt like I was prying into someone’s private life and thoughts were I had no business to be, a hurdle I got over fast when I picked it up again this month. 
Now to the book itself. The storytelling jumped from one event to another, from one year to a decade before to two month later - it should be confusing but Fox managed to tie all these experiences together, finding the invisible string throughout his life and ties all these different experiences together to one thoughtful conclusion. 
I really enjoyed the tone he brought to the book, reflective and fun at the same time. The book also made me tear up a lot, especially when he speaks about his wife, his love for her is just dripping off the pages.
