31 Songs - Nick Hornby

This is a really smug and self-indulgent little book. I've enjoyed Nick Hornby a lot in the past but this is unfocussed and trite. It doesn't help that most of his musical taste is pretty dubious too. I'm with him on Teenage Fanclub and Springsteen (though he misstates the appeal of both) but Nelly Furtado? Santana? Aimee Mann? Pfffhhh...
