'Fever Pitch', 'High Fidelity' and 'About a Boy' in one volume.
'Fever Pitch'
Whether you are interested in football or not, this is a very funny, but also high perceptive and honest story about Hornby's obsession and the state of the game.
'High Fidelity'
This is an hilarious book about sex and manliness, memory and music. Many men - and, certainly, all addictive personalities - will find in this book shadows of themselves. A funny and concise explanation of why men are as they are. If you are male, you should make your partner read it, so they will no longer hate you but pity you instead.
'About a Boy'
Marcus is twelve. Will is thirty-six. Why can't they both act their age? Nick Hornby explores the connections people make when the so-called ideal family model does not apply. Hornby keeps his eye on the subject while revealing much more - always cutting through received rubbish with a singular sense of purpose. And in the process he connects with a huge number of people who find his view of the world funny, wise and disarmingly entertaining.
