I love Nick Hornby's writing, and I love reading about music, so this book was enjoying overall. But I must say, I made an effort to listen to the songs he was talking about while I was reading the essay, whenever possible (via Youtube, my own mp3s, etc)... And by and large, the songs I was not already familiar with, I just didn't like.

I guess we don't share the same taste in music, Mr. Hornby. That's okay, I'll keep reading your fiction.

This is now available for trade or RABCK; I'll be looking through wishlists.
