I also used to believe in OK-ish to Good Pens but cheap notebooks punctuated with the usual Moleskin, Field Notes, etc. Then I tried some of those Japanese ones -- they are super good and you don't wanna waste and leave no whitespace -- you write and write everywhere.

You should try Midori https://www.midori-japan.co.jp/english/

Now, my idea it to stick to a standard size wherever possible; I've chosen A5 as my go-to Notebook and a mix of a lot of good ones and a few of the best ones.

I've gifted a couple friends Midori notebooks before. On the go, portable enough to carry in a jacket or back pocket, I'm partial to the A6 blank notebook. Otherwise, I like the free form factor of A5/A4 loose leaf paper, particularly on a spacious desk.

I found Bartleby to be a fantastic short read that stuck with me. Did you like it?

Oh, yes, exceedingly so. I found it to be extraordinary[1]. It has been on the back of my mind to-read since late summer of 2019, where the recommendation came from a soft-spoken lecturer.

1: For example, ranging from "...Nippers would sometimes impatiently rise from his seat, and stooping over his table, spread his arms wide apart, seize the whole desk..." to "...at leisure intervals I looked a little into 'Edwards on the Will,' and 'Priestly on Necessity'..."
