Hornby, Nick 31 Songs
Penguin Books Ltd 24 Feb 2005 0-14-101386-9 / 9780141013862 Paperback Very Good
A crisp clean softcover, no markings throughout: There is nothing quite so incomprehensible as love: 31 Songs is Nick Hornby 's account of a selection of the music that lives deep in his heart and it is beside the point that most of us would make radically different selectio ns. He makes some useful distinctions--these are not songs he loves for the ir associations so much as particular songs through which he learned more a bout his capacity for loving songs in general. Along the way, he talks movi ngly and intelligently about other matters on which those songs impinge--hi s relationship with his autistic son, his limited but real capacity for spi rituality--but the songs rather than Hornby and his life are his real subje ct. It would be almost impossible to read this book and not get caught up i n at least some of Hornby's enthusiasms--where you read thrillers trying no t to cheat by looking at the end, here you spend time hoping the discograph y will be as good as the rest of it, and of course it is. The book is a ser ious attempt to define what it is about rock and pop that speaks to us in w ays other types of music might not; those who either do not share Hornby's tastes or who have more eclectic ones will find it a useful and enlightenin g explication of what rock and pop do. --Roz Kaveney --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. Product Descriptio n 'I decided that I wanted to write a little book of essays about songs I loved ... Songs are what I listen to, almost to the exclusion of everything else.' In his first non-fiction work since Fever Pitch, Nick Hornby writes about 31 songs that either

Hornby, Nick (Editor) Da Capo Best Music Writing 2001: The Year's Finest Writing on Rock, Pop, Ja zz, Country, and More
Da Capo Press October, 2001 0-306-81066-2 / 9780306810664 1st Edition TRADE PAPER Fine
Da Capo presents an anthology of exemplary music writing from the likes of Vanity Fair, Rolling Stone, the Chicago Reader, the Oxford American and Sal on during the last year, a dual history of what music makes of culture and what culture makes of music. Despite seemingly boundless support for the cu lt of youth, editor Hornby (High Fidelity; How to Be Good) keeps his person al preferences in check here, introducing the collection with caveats and c ontrition, and a humanist vibe. Notable standouts include N.R. Kleinfield's meditations on hip-hop and race, Rian Malan's historiographic study of "Th e Lion Sleeps Tonight" and a West Bank rapper slice-of-life from Lorraine A li.

Hornby, Nick High Fidelity (Movie-tie In) : A Novel
Riverhead Trade March 1, 2000 1-57322-821-4 / 9781573228213 Paperback Very Good+
A crisp clean softcover, no markings throughout: It has been said often enough that baby boomers are a television generation, but the very funny novel High Fidelity reminds that in a way they are the record-album generation as well. This funny novel is obsessed with music; Hornby's narrator is an early-thirtysomething English guy who runs a London record store. He sells albums recorded the old-fashioned way--on vinyl--and is having a tough time making other transitions as well, specifically adulthood. The book is in one sense a love story, both sweet and interesting; most entertaining, though, are the hilarious arguments over arcane matters of pop music.
