Shakespeare Wrote For Money - Nick Hornby

I mean, really. Who could possibly want to read the bletherings of some pommie Arsenal obsessive about the rubbish he's been reading that month?

No, er, hang on. Hope you're enjoying the blog. (Pauses, rethinks, starts again)

Hornby is always engaging and readable, and a bunch of the reviews here made me want to rush out and read the subjects but I'll probably forget by the end of my self-imposed new book ban.

I read this out to M, and she looked at me with great forbearance:

"Thierry Henry, my role model and hero and the man that both my wife and I wish had fathered our children".
