Review:
"What's most valuable about this collection...is that Hornby, by dint of his sensibility and the variety of his choices, shows that the distinction still made between reading for the sake of 'enrichment' (as that gasbag Harold Bloom insists upon) and reading for pleasure is a phony divide....What Hornby does so beautifully here is to assume the intelligence of his readers, and to obliterate the literature/pleasure divide by acting, sensibly, as if it didn't exist."
