31 Songs

Through thirty-one songs that he either loves or has loved, Nick Horby tells us what music means to his life. These personal and passionate pieces -refreshingly free of pretension- are a celebration of the joy that certain songs have given him. Together with additional writings on music from his colum in the "New Yorker", "31 Songs" is for Hornby what many of us have always wanted: a soundtrack to accompany life.
