'31 Songs' - Nick Hornby

(1/1)

[stealth]:
Essentially a book about 31 of the author's favourite songs, and how they've made him feel.  It's also a kind of essay on popular music today, where he thinks it's headed and its value in our lives.  I bought it yesterday and have pretty well read it cover to cover.  It's one of those books you can pick up and read right from the middle, the go back to the start, towards the end and every other place inbetween.  (I love reading books this way rather than, A to B, which probably goes a fair way to explaining why I struggle to get through even a slim novel in less than couple of months).

And it's got me mixtaping again.

Jake:
so, can you name a few tracks that he talks about?

Govtcheez:
I love Nick Hornby, but I'm not big fan of reading song lyrics.  Is there a lot more exposition than lyrics?
