โAll I have to say about these songs is that I love them, and want to sing along to them, and force other people to listen to them, and get cross when these other people donโt like them as much as I do.โ โNick Hornby, from Songbook
A wise and hilarious collection from the bestselling author of Dickens and Prince, Just Like You, Funny Girl and About a Boy.
Songs, songwriters, and why and how they get under our skinโฆ
Songbook is Nick Hornbyโs labor of love. A shrewd, funny, and completely unique collection of musings on pop music, why itโs good, what makes us listen and love it, and the ways in which it attaches itself to our livesโall with the beat of a perfectly mastered mix tape.ย
