Sub-titled 'Two Years of Reading Begat More Reading', presented in easily digestible, hysterical monthly instalments. This is the final collection of Hornby's monthly column for The Believer magazine about the books he has bought and the books he has read. It begins in August 2006 and the challenges of reading during a World Cup month, knowing too much about the author whose work you are reading, taking seriously bad books, literature's obstruction by sex, his musical preferences, recommendations from Stephen Frears, Orwell on Dickens, good wine and Sartre, the third greatest children's book of the last 70 years, and blank-verse werewolf novels. A companion to Housekeeping vs. The Dirt, 131pp, paperback.
