^I saw that in the bookstore the other day and thought about getting it but ended up waiting cause I have so many other books to read too. Have you read his other stuff? High Fidelity was one of my favorite books ever.

Same, I got recommended a book once with a terrible cover, I couldn't get in to the story. A cover is supposed to portray the book after all!

highly recommended. Half memoir, half post-grad social research project, American Nerd is as interesting as it is stirring making a flip subtitle seem like a cause worth fighting for. Your perspective on nerds, and the society that surrounds them will change forever.

i have read all of his other still,....i didnt even know he had a new book out, monty sent it too me this weekend after he finished it in one sitting,...i didnt even know that hornby had a new book out, so i was very happily surprised and so far its been a very good read, though sometimes reading the character of annie is a but painful as i see much of my own stagnate life in hers

Part two of the trilogy and nearing the end of this. I go a couple of months with barely reading and within a week I'm nearly through 2 books.
