Juliet, Naked
by Nick Hornby
Wonderfully flawed, endearing characters. Funny and thought-provoking, especially about music and how it affects us emotionally and the resulting adulation we impose on the artists. Definitely a good listen.
FAVORITE LINES:
“For the best part of 40 years she had genuinely believed that not doing things would somehow prevent regret, when, of course, the exact opposite was true.”
“One thing about great art: it made you love people more, forgive them their petty transgressions. It worked in the way that religion was supposed to, if you thought about it.”
“She stopped typing. If she’d been using pen and paper, she would have screwed the paper up in disgust, but there wasn’t a satisfying equivalent with email, seeing as everything was designed to stop you making a mistake. She needed a fuck-it key, something that made a satisfying ka-boom noise when you thumped it.”
