31 Songs
Nick Hornby
The songs written about are a jumping off point for essays. They
are not the 31 songs most important to him. The style is typical
Hornby, very conversational. This bloke is the sort who starts
arguments in pubs and then walks away. A very easy read. The best
writing about music makes you want to hear it. Hornby does this
sometimes, but other times he makes a very bad job of it.

Bob thoroughly enjoyed this but wondered of how much interest it
would be to anyone else in the group (except Andrew of course,
who'd lent it to him). Bob thought that Hornby's choices were a
bit too obviously right on.

Enjoyable but not for those who don't like pop music (although
some might disagree with this view).
