Just finished this thought it was excellent. Anyone else a fan of his work?

I love Nick Hornby's voice. Haven't read Juliet, Naked yet but a big fan of High Fidelity and About a Boy.

Also really like his book reviews. Only volume I have is Housekeeping Vs. The Dirt, but I highly recommend it.

Normally I'm a big Hornby fan (like him, I want to have Van Morrison's Caravan played at my funeral, the live version, with the Caledonia Soul Orchestra), but I had mixed feelings about this one: http://www.nationalpost.com/story.html?id=2061752

I wish I could link my responses to the National Post :p

The relationship component was actually the reason I've not been super tempted to buy it before it's in paperback.

(Sorry Nick, if it's any consolation I did buy Songbook for Christmas gifts.)
