More Baths Less Talking: Notes from the Reading Life of a Celebrated Author Locked in Battle with Football, Family, and Time Itself | 
pickNick Hornby writes a column for the Believer about books he's bought and books he's read. This collection (there are four and this is the fourth though there are more columns) covers 2011. Often very funny, the columns show his love of reading and his sharing what he's enjoyed about these books is infectious (Warning: Your TBR list will grow.).

Hi litsians! Help me out because I'm in dire need of guidance. What do you do when you're in a reading rut? It's been about a month since I've picked up my book and I don't know what's the matter with me. #help
pickThis compilation of Hornby's columns from the periodical "The Believer" offers his musings on his reading life. Each month, he provides a list of books he has bought and read, and then he briefly reviews the ones he read. Every single column had me laughing several times. I also appreciated the breadth of Hornby's literary taste, from children's books to nonfiction on esoteric topics. He makes it all interesting.
Spent the entire weekend redoing our master bathroom and paid very special attention to the reading tub. One needs to relax after all and have plenty of smelly goods and candles for optimum reading and relaxing. After all the painting and installing new fixture I truly need it!
Trying out my Christmas present for the first time- I've wanted one of these for years!! Finally all the hinting paid off! Hopefully my books will be a little less soggy and my wine less frequently spilt in the bath!!! 😊
pick"Hornby è un paladino del libro, della lettura, del piacere che dà una felice esperienza letteraria. Ha una qualità di cui c'è disperato bisogno: un entusiasmo intelligente."

#funfridayphoto #funnybooks it took me a while to come up with books that make me laugh. I like sly, clever, sharp wit, usually based on personal observations, by writers such as Nick Hornby. And the best part about these essays in these books? Mainly about books! (note: these + a few more all in are in Ten Years in the Tub, which I don't have yet). Oddly enough I haven't read any of his novels; don't know if his humor carries over in them.
