Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

With an affectionate introduction by Sarah Vowell, this is the third and final collection of columns by celebrated novelist Nick Hornby from The Believer magazine. Hornby's monthly reading diary is unlike any arts column in any other publication; it discusses cultural artifacts the way they actually exist in people's lives. Hornby is a voracious and unapologetic reader, and his notes on books — highbrow and otherwise — are always accessible and hilarious.

Oh no! This is the final collection of Nick Hornby's "Stuff I've Been Reading" column from The Believer Magazine. If you enjoyed The Polysyllabic Spree and Housekeeping vs. The Dirt, you'll love this volume. If you haven't read Hornby talk about the books he's bought, read, tried to read, enjoyed, hated, you have a lot of catching up to do. I envy you!
