Nick Hornby wrote this book about 31 songs (and a couple of albums) to illustrate the various ways in which music accompanies his life. You also learn some background information on his novel High Fidelity (not only when he is explicitly referring to it).

I don't know whether it is because of the age difference between the author and me that I didn't know most of the songs, or whether this is more a sign of the deeply personal nature of the selection of songs that we know. Either way, I suppose any reader will recognize many aspects of music that Hornby describes, even if the reader is not familiar with the songs that the author uses to illustrate them.

RELEASE NOTES:

Released to the BBC Radio Shropshire OBCZ

Caught at Radio Shropshire, was going to take to the new OBCZ in Dudley but started reading it and got hooked.

Excellent read, light enough to enjoy but enough soul searching to be meaningful.
Being passed on to angel-uncorrupt for her Birthday.

All join in...
"Happy Birthday to you..."
