Ten Years in the Tub: A Decade Soaking in Great Books, Paperback

Descriere

""How often do you begin reading a book that makes you--immediately, urgently, desperately--want to read more books?"" (""Booklist""). Nick Hornby has managed to write just such a book in this hilarious, insightful, and infectious volume. ""Ten Years in the Tub"" chronicles Hornby's journey through a decade's worth of books, as related in his wildly popular Believer column ""Stuff I've Been Reading."" ""Ten Years in the Tub"" is a one-way ticket into the mind of one of the most beloved contemporary writers on his favorite pastime, but it's also a meditation on what Celine Dion can teach us about ourselves, a warning about how John Updike can ruin our sex lives, and a recommendation for the way Body Shop Vanilla Shower Gel can add excitement to our days. This ""decade-long addiction for many... makes standing in line at the bank a blessed interval for snorting another page."" (the ""New York Times Book Review"")
