I just read in the Evening Standard that N.H. has a new book out at the end of December: "The Polysyllabic Spree (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1932416242/102-7505304-1492960?v=glance)". It will be similar to his 31 Songs book, only this one is about books + reading... Sounds pretty good. I always like it when well-known people I like mention books or albums they enjoy, it always encourages me to seek out new authors or musicians, to try out new things I might not even have heard of before, and this book seems to work just well because of that. I have only read a couple of Hornby's books, but really liked them (About A Boy and High Fidelity)...I've added it to my wishlist!

That's one of the best things about Bookxing - reading the posts and getting completely new ideas for reading. I'm sure BookGroupOnline will be the same. Shall buy the new Nick Hornby book for someone else and then borrow it!
