Spanning the magazine's Las Vegas era, these consistently hilarious dispatches touch on numerous subjects, including epic cattle drives, chess prodigies, and Arsenal's 1976 thrashing of West Ham. From his tub-side lectern, Hornby catalogues everything he reads--the good, the great, and the could-not-finish--with the characteristic wit and charm that has made his column so widely beloved. Whether writing about heartbreak or quantum physics, Hornby offers surprising insights, and proves himself, once again, as one of our greatest living cultural critics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNick Hornby was born in 1957, and is the author of the novels, \u003cem\u003e High Fidelity\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eAbout a Boy\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003e How To Be Good\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eA Long Way Down\u003c\/em\u003e (shortlisted for the Whitbread Award), \u003cem\u003eSlam, Juliet, Naked, Funny Girl, \u003c\/em\u003eand \u003cem\u003eJust Like You\u003c\/em\u003e.
