Complete Polysyllabic Spree

Product Description

This is not a book of reviews. This is not a book that sneers at other books. This is a book about reading - about enjoying books wherever and however you find them.

Nick Hornby is first and foremost a reader and he approaches books like the rest of us: hoping to pick up one he can't put down. The Complete Polysyllabic Spree is a diary of sorts, charting his reading life over two years. It is a celebration of why we read - its pleasures, its disappointments and its surprises.

And above all, it is for you - the ever hopeful reader.

'An engaged and engaging ramble around one reader's mind.' The Times

'Not only does it make you want to read more but, like all great books, it's also terrific company.' Metro

'For anyone whose idea of a good time is arguing with friends about their favourite books... amusing and contagiously enthusiastic.' Big Issue
