Stuff I've Been Reading by Nick Hornby

4.0

So fun and entirely brilliant! Loved Hornby’s witty commentaries about the books he’s been reading and didn’t even mind it prolonging my already very long tbr-list. Though towards the end I could no longer relate as much to Hornby’s quests as a reader since he was heavily reviewing non-fiction, history and biographies mostly, in a way that does not quite represent me as a reader. To use the words of Philipp Roth, I myself don’t think I’ll ever quite “wise up” and discard fiction all together, and even though Hornby appears adamant that he would never do so either, he seems to have this tendency nevertheless.
