The Complete Polysyllabic Spree
Author: Hornby, Nick
ISBN: 9780241969854
Publisher: Penguin UK
Year first published: 29 Jul 2015
Pages: 288
Format: Paperback / softback
The first installment in Nick Hornby's acclaimed reading diary - the companion to Stuff I've Been Reading
In his monthly accounts of what he's read - along with what he may one day read - Nick Hornby brilliantly explores everything from the classic to the graphic novel, as well as poems, plays, sports books and other kinds of non-fiction. If he occasionally implores a biographer for brevity, or abandons a literary work in favour of an Arsenal match, then all is not lost. His writing, full of all the joy and surprise and despair that books bring him, reveals why we still read, even when there's football on TV, a pram in the hall or a good band playing at our local pub.
