About this product

Product Information

"All I have to say about these songs is that I love them, and want to sing along to them, and force other people to listen to them, and get cross when these other people don't like them as much as I do." --Nick Hornby, from Songbook A wise and hilarious collection from the bestselling author of Just Like You, Funny Girl, About a Boy , and High Fidelity. Songs, songwriters, and why and how they get under our skin... Songbook is Nick Hornby's labor of love. A shrewd, funny, and completely unique collection of musings on pop music, why it's good, what makes us listen and love it, and the ways in which it attaches itself to our lives--all with the beat of a perfectly mastered mix tape.

Reviews
"That whole subculture, all those mournful guys to whom the sound of record-store bin dividers clicking by is almost music enough, should love Songbook , yet so should anyone interested in great essays, or in the delicate art of being funny, or in how to write about one's feelings in such a way that other people will actually care."- The San Francisco Chronicle "Delivered in a hugely enjoyable, invisible prose that does in words what Hornby's tunesmiths do with sound. He writes good."- Time Out London "Quintessentially Hornby: an idiosyncratic and charming exploration of the meaning of music and how it changes as we grow up and grow old."- SeattleWeekly.com "A book about the joy of listening to great pop songs, about the elusive genius of a catchy chorus...what shines most is Hornby himself-his wry self-awareness, his disarming honesty. Effortlessly readable, every chapter reminds us how special an observer of human behavior Hornby is"- Heat "A small, singular, delightful collection [about] the power of songs to bind people culturally and to reach deeply into the human spirit, bending the heart into new shapes with new potential."- The New York Times Book Review "When Hornby writes about his enthusiasms and how they intertwine with his life, he's amusing and inspiring."- Rolling Stone, "That whole subculture, all those mournful guys to whom the sound of record-store bin dividers clicking by is almost music enough, should love Songbook , yet so should anyone interested in great essays, or in the delicate art of being funny, or in how to write about one's feelings in such a way that other people will actually care."-- The San Francisco Chronicle "Delivered in a hugely enjoyable, invisible prose that does in words what Hornby's tunesmiths do with sound.
