Nick Hornby
â€œRead what you enjoy, not what bores you,â€ Nick Hornby tells us. That simple, liberating, and indispensable directive animates each installment of the celebrated critic and authorâ€™s monthly column in the Believer. In this delightful and never-musty tour of his reading life, Hornby tells us not just what to read, but how to read.,Whether tackling a dismayingly bulky biography of Dickens while his children destroy something in the next room, or getting sucked into a serious assessment of Celine Dion during an intensely fought soccer match featuring his beloved Arsenal, or devouring an entire series of childrenâ€™s books while on vacation, Hornbyâ€™s reviews are rich, witty, and occasionally madcap. These essays capture the joy and ire, the despair and exhilaration of the book-loverâ€™s life, and will appeal equally to both monocle-wearing salonnieres and people, like him, who spend a lot of time thinking about Miley Cyrusâ€™s next role.
