- The Complete Polysyllabic Spree is the first full collection of Nick Hornbys Stuff Ive Been Reading essays, first published in the Believer magazine in the US and assmbled in this bumper volume for the delectation and edification of book lovers everywhere. Through twenty-eight monthly accounts of books bought and books read, Nick Hornby explores the how and when and why and what of reading. He forgets every book hes ever read, and explains the theory behind literary family trees the way great books give birth to one another.
He covers everything from debuts to blockbusters to graphic fiction, and is the perfect guide to this cornucopia of books, engaging the reader with wonderful conversation pieces, hilarious one liners, lists, ideas, admissions and autobiography. The Complete Polysyllabic Spree includes a brand-new introduction, and bonus material excerpts from works by Marjane Satrapi, Dickens, Chekhov, Jess Walters, and more. Smart, funny, unruly and utterly readable, it is a testament to the joy and despair and surprise that books can bring.
