Books, Movies, Rhythm, Blues: Twenty Years of Writing About Film, Music and Books by Nick Hornby
matthewwester's review
3.0
I'll buy any book that Hornby writes. And I'm sure I would have given this a higher rating had I been more familiar with the subject matter. His writing is probably most effective for readers around his same age with a similar taste in music. As it stands, a solid 3 star rating and I would recommend the book to any fan of Hornby's work.

A light, fun read if scattershot, sprinkled with ordinary wisdom. Perfect for reading on trains or at bus stops.

I have officially read more nonfiction written by Hornby than fiction. In fact, who am I kidding, I've only read a novel (and a screenplay, if that counts), but quite a few nonfictions. That's because he is a brilliant pop culture lover/writer and in an ideal world we'd have coffee together in London one day and talk books, movies, rhythm, blues and I'd finally get (hopefully) why he's so into Dickens.
