^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.

And I do the same thing, judging a book by its cover. The thing is, I'm usually right
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've been waiting for the library to get that book, it looks like something I would enjoy, but not something I'd wanna spend 14-16 dollars on.

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.
