Read my full review here:https://tessasworldofthings.blogspot.de/2016/12/songbook-by-nick-hornby.htmlNick Hornby mostly talks about music that had some kind of impact on him for a variety of reasons. That's basically the summery of the book. Music that affected him and why. Or some story of how he noticed the band or the song or just some general thoughts on music, life and pop culture.We all have these songs, movies or series, plays or other kinds of art that had a huge impact on our lives. There are these moments that we will forever remember and most of them have some kind of soundtrack to them. It's nice to have an entire book of this kind of moments. How many of us offer such an insight into our personal lives to a great variety of people? We usually don't. So, thank you Nick Hornby for allowing us to take a look at your soul.
