8In this new anthology of his columns for The Believer, Nick Hornby delves into the latest escapades from his reading life. Spanning the magazine's Las Vegas era, these consistently hilarious dispatches touch on numerous subjects, including epic cattle drives, chess prodigies, and Arsenal's 1976 thrashing of West Ham. From his tub-side lectern, Hornby catalogues everything he reads--the good, the great, and the could-not-finish--with the characteristic wit and charm that has made his column so widely beloved. Whether writing about heartbreak or quantum physics, Hornby offers surprising insights, and proves himself, once again, as one of our greatest living cultural critics.
