Ten Years In the Tub: A Decade Soaking in Great Books

Nick Hornby

2013, 485 pages

Nonfiction

For more than a decade, author Nick Hornby has contributed a monthly column to the arts and entertainment-centered magazine The Believer. In the humbly titled “Stuff I’ve Been Reading,” Hornby provides a list of each book he has bought and read throughout the month, and then delivers commentary about each of the titles. Written with his characteristic humor and charm, Hornby’s column is a laugh-out-loud testament to both popular titles and can’t miss classics, as well as oft-forgotten gems. Within his columns, Hornby also remarks on the mysterious workings of the magazine he writes for, highlights the newest endeavors of his novel-writing friends, and launches into comical and often unexpected discussions about his favorite soccer team. Ten Years in the Tub: A Decade Soaking in Great Books compiles all of Hornby’s columns from the past year years into one remarkable collection. Readers and book-lovers of all sorts will adore this latest edition and, in the process of reading, add scores of new titles to their to-read list.
