31 Songs by Nick Hornby

This book has been on bestseller lists almost as soon as it hit the bookstores. The reason why it has hit a chord with so many readers is that everyone has his/her favourite song. The book has tapped into the core of their feelings. Nick Hornby slots this effort as “a little book of essays about songs I loved…Songs are what I listen to, almost to the exclusion of everything else. I don’t listen to classical music or jazz very often, and when people ask me what music I like, I find it very difficult to reply, because they usually want names of people, and I can only give them song titles.”
