41 songs by Nick Hornby

I don't know most of the songs listed and I tend to question his choice of those that I know but Hornby states his case about the power of great songs convincingly.

 

is this the same person who wrote about a boy?

 

yes. hornby wrote "about a boy" and also "high fidelity"--an equally wonderful book.

 

try getting a copy of "a heartbreaking work of staggering genius". just finished it. it's awesome.

I saw it at a university bookstore in the US when I went with my kid sister on a college tour.

 

Yeah, I'll get a copy as soon as I see one here :)

 

btw, it's 31 songs, not 41. my bad!

Milan Kundera's The unbearable Lightness of Being.  :thumbsupsmiley:

 

Paulo Coelho's By the River Piedra, I sat and Wept.    :thumbsupsmiley:

 

Michel Bergin's The Other Man :thumbsdownsmiley:

 

Are you the Teresa to Tomas?

 

Or the Pilar by the river?

 

Outstanding read those two.

 

 

Lucky guy, that other man, but a kiss-and-tell fag too :thumbsdownsmiley:

the chronicles of narnia.

 

Some (American) foreign friends have recommended "Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy"

 

Movies coming out. Yipee!!

 

Read anything by Fyodor dostoetevsky  :cool:

 

Yep. Read the Russians.

 

I recommend books by James Michener, A. Conan Doyle, "The Far Pavilions", "Trinity", "Roots", "Catch-22", "The Catcher in the Rye", "Fahrenheit 451", "Dune", and the two mentioned above for now.
