## Description

Ten Years in the Tub [Hornby, Nick] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. Ten Years in the Tub

Review: Fantastic - A fantastic book. Wry, ironic, hysterical, poignant, and thoughtful. It seems like some other reviewers were disappointed based on their expectations of this not comparing to Hornby's other books, although as someone reading him for the first time I must say they might be over-analyzing it just a touch. Not since Bill Bryson have I laughed out loud while reading. Hornby writes in a simple conversational style that grabs the reader. Although it is 464 pages, it reads fast and was a delight every time I picked it up. Above all he is to be prized for his honesty in admitting his own failures and in his necessarily oblique reviews of some books as to not run afoul of his employers in San Francisco and their white robes! If you are a voracious reader who loves books you will love this.
Review: A Book About Reading Books - You can't go wrong with Nick Hornby fiction - but it turns out that Nick Hornby's reading life is also just as fresh and hilarious and actually poignant. As I was going back through his early years of books, I realized just how many authors or novels I'd read because of him - just a word here or an excerpt in his column, even just because he'd bought the book and never read it. I keep thinking that reading about reading won't be as absorbing as reading about a suicide club or a guy who lists his top ten break-ups, but it is. Every time I start a new month of "Books Bought/Books Read", I'm sucked into the story: the story of one guy's love affair with reading.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ inimitably hornby
*by S***N on April 22, 2015*

i am 2/3 thru it, so many titles and writers never heard of by me, was hoping for more familiar goldies, but as hornby says if you like an author he can get you to enjoy whatever he dishes up. the chatty unpretentious and sometimes bellylaughing style makes me happy to read on.
