Title: Juliet, Naked Post by: Doore on Monday, January 25, 2010, 22:47:58 I bought this book (Nick Hornby) yesterday - I'm halfway through it and so far I highly recommend it. To be fair though, I'm a massive fan of Hornby's novels - the only one I'm not too fond of is About a Boy. High Fidelity, How to be Good, A Long Way Down and Slam! are all terrific, although I have a particular soft spot for How to be Good.
In short, Hornby is a much underrated novelist. Title: Re: Juliet, Naked Post by: tans on Monday, January 25, 2010, 22:51:28 fever pitch isnt bad either
Title: Re: Juliet, Naked Post by: Doore on Monday, January 25, 2010, 22:54:01 Fever Pitch is a wonderful book that all of us on here can identify with - I do think though that it has tainted his standing as a novelist - "he's the bloke who loves football isn't he?" - his record as a novelist deserves recognition.
