Ten Years In The Tub: A Decade Soaking in Great Books
Nick Hornby, Jess Walter (introduction)
"How often do you begin reading a book that makes you — immediately, urgently, desperately — want to read more books?” (Booklist). Nick Hornby has managed to write just such a book in this hilarious, insightful, and infectious volume.
Ten Years In The Tub chronicles Hornby's journey through a decade’s worth of books, as related in his wildly popular Believer column “Stuff I’ve Been Reading.” Ten Years In The Tub is a one-way ticket into the mind of one of the most beloved contemporary writers on his favourite pastime, but it's also a meditation on what Celine Dion can teach us about ourselves, a warning about how John Updike can ruin our sex lives, and a recommendation for the way Body Shop Vanilla Shower Gel can add excitement to our days.
This "decade-long addiction for many... makes standing in line at the bank a blessed interval for snorting another page” (The New York Times Book Review).
