Songbook

"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 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.
