Yet another good one from Hornby. Gotta read Fever Pitch, too. Belongs to my personal collection.

I'm sending this book out on an exclusive miniring (triangle, I should say) to aaratnayake, who'll pass it onto JennyO, who will then send it back to me.

I just received it in the mail to my surprise. i didn't think i would be getting it so soon. well i have read the first few pages waitng for my internet connection to come up and already i don't want to put it down. the matrix might have to wait a week till i'm done with this book
-Finished it just in time. it was just great to read. good introduction to nick hornby. loved the characters. Wanted to hate goodnews but didn't. i will have to buy a copy of my own when finances permit and read it again in case i missed anything

Released on Tuesday, May 27, 2003 at Mailed to another Bookcrosser in Minneapolis, Minnesota USA.

it's off in the mail to jennyO

Got this one today. Wow, that was fast. I'm looking forward to reading it and will send it (along with A Passage to India) to tutmarie when I finish it.

Thanks!!

Thank you tutmarie for loaning me one of your personal collection books. Very generous of you! I enjoyed reading this book, but I'm still not sure how I feel about the characters -- maybe that was Hornby's intention.

It certainly has got me thinking about what "being good" really means, and about how little I'm really willing to do when you get right down to it. Sharing books, yeah; volunteering at church, yeah; giving money to charities, yeah; donating stuff to shelters, yeah; taking in a homeless person, no way, not a chance.

Hornby's writing is sharp, witty and fun to read (as usual), and I did really enjoy reading the book.

I'll be mailing this book and A Passage to India to tutmarie later today.

Welcome home my friend! The book has now finished it's cross-Atlantic journey and has arrived safely. I'm glad aaratnayake and JennyO enjoyed reading it.

I'm now lending this one to an American friend living here in Denmark - hope she'll like it.

Well, I never actually did, so it's still here on my shelves.

Lending it to another friend.
