Personal

I learned about Nick Hornby after enjoying the film High Fidelity. Afterward, I bought, read, and loved the book. I've since read several other books by Hornby, and I've enjoyed them all, making him one of my favorite authors; though I've only read his fiction. Hornby's writing style is very enjoyable, and reading his work makes me feel happy. He sometimes talks about dark subjects, but he doesn't make me depressed, and his stories have fulfilling endings.
