Soft cover. Zustand: As New. No Jacket. 1st Edition. The 3 books of Nick Hornby's Believer columns sold together as a set. Clean & tight copies, unread, in AS NEW condition. THE POLYSYLLABIC SPREE (2004) A hilarious and true account of one man's struggle with the monthly tide of the books he's bought and the books he's been meaning to read. HOUSEKEEPING VS. THE DIRT (2006) Fourteen months of massively witty adventures in reading chronicled by the National Book Critics Circle Finalist for Criticism. SHAKESPEARE WROTE FOR MONEY (2008) Two years of reading begat by more reading, presented in easily digestible, utterly hysterical monthly installments. "Nick Hornby, a finalist for the NBCCAward for his music criticism, now turns his unerring gaze to books. Here, in his monthly accounts of what he's read--along with what he bought and may one day read--Nick Hornby ably explores everything from the classic to the graphic novel, as well as poems, plays, and sports-related exposes. And if he occasionally implores a biographer for brevity, or abandons a literary work in favor of an Arsenal soccer match, then all is not lost. His warm and riotous writing, full of all the joy and surprise and despair that books bring him, reveals why we still read, even when there's soccer on TV, a pram in the hall, and a good band playing at our local bar." [publisher copy] "[His columns are] as rich and varied as the world of literature itself, with Hornby perfectly cast as both tour guide and host . . . insatiable bibliophiles will devour [them] with delight."--San Francisco Chronicle. "Hysterically funny."--NPR. Mostly pristine paperbacks w/mostly brilliant corners & crisp edges (HvsD has rear sticker repair & slight shelfwear, o/w unmarked), square & tight bindings w/no creases in spines & nice French flaps on the first two.

Sold along with a perfect Advance Reader's Copy of Bissell's debut story collection GOD LIVES IN ST. PETERSBURG from 2005. "In MAGIC HOURS, award-winning essayist Tom Bissell plumbs the depths and scales the heights of the creative impulse. From the set of The Big Bang Theory, to the first novel of Ernest Hemingway, to one of David Foster Wallace's last works; from the otherworldly universe of Werner Herzog's films to Tommy Wiseau's simply alien cult film The Room; to the editorial meeting in which Paula Fox's work was relaunched into the world; from Iraq War documentaries to video-game character voices, Bissell asks why people choose to make the things they do and he shows us how they do it with startling insight and biting humor. What are sitcoms for exactly? Can art be both bad and genius? Why do some books survive and others vanish? Bissell's exploration of these questions make for gripping, unforgettable reading." [publisher copy] "Tom Bissell is at his best in this terrific collection."--Geoff Dyer. "Every one of Bissell's pieces is like some great, transfixing documentary you stumble on while channel-surfing late at night--something you feel, in that moment, a kind of gratitude toward for redeeming your sleeplessness. Considered alongside his fiction, this new collection makes clear that Tom Bissell is one of our most interesting and ambitious writers."--John Jeremiah Sullivan. Pristine paperback w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine. See my listing RUB1808 for more on God Lives ARC.…
