| | 1. |  | High Fidelity: A Novel
from Riverhead Trade
Price: $10.88
Customer Review:
Nick Hornby writes a winning novel about three young slackers. He pokes gentle fun at them as they navigate the bewildering puzzles of romance and life. This is one of Hornby's earlier books, and his tone is not as polished as it will become. Still, he offers up his hilarious take on male-female... more info

| | 2. |  | Slam
from Penguin Audio
Price: $19.77
Customer Review:
This was supposed to be teen-fiction but, as an adult Hornby fan, I had to get it. I'd say the only thing that makes it teen-fiction is that it's told in the first person by a 16 year-old boy. Other than that we still have Hornbys' clever insights and humour all the way through. It is about a... more info

| | 5. |  | How to Be Good
from Riverhead Trade
Price: $11.20
Customer Review:
Usually a Nick Hornby fan, but not this time. Besides being meandering, plotless, bizarre and implausible the characters are all quite dislikable, most notably the narrator. While the other characters seem to have a character arc, no matter how unrealistic it may be, the narrator remains hateful,... more info

| | 6. |  | About a Boy (Movie Tie-In) (Movie Tie-In)
from Riverhead Trade
Price: $11.90
Customer Review:
I enjoyed High Fidelity immensely. I picked up this book because I thought it would be a good read about a slacker finding love.
I couldn't make it through the first 50 pages. The working mum, the hipster. Too cliche. The story unfolded too quickly, and as soon as it did, I lost interest.more info

| | 7. |  | Housekeeping vs. the Dirt
from McSweeney's
Price: $11.20
Customer Review:
I always used to love NH, especially his characters, but in Housekeeping vs Dirt one gets a sense of the man himself. That's the appeal, of course, except I don't find what I read there remotely appealing. Hornby is the archtypal Thatcher era liberal. I say Thatcher era, because his current stance... more info

from Riverhead Trade
Price: $11.16
Customer Review:
Quite simply, I've never enjoyed a book of short stories more than this one. Reading it made a train trip through Europe even more perfect than it already was, and because of it I discovered Dave Eggers...

| | 9. |  | The Polysyllabic Spree
from McSweeney's, Believer Books
Price: $11.20
Customer Review:
Nick Hornby's The Polysyllabic Spree is an interesting look at what one man buys and reads in a given month. The commentary about his choices and his reads are fantastically amusing. It's good to see that us readers and writers are not alone in our efforts to catalogue our finds and keep a running... more info
