Nick Hornby

I was looking at my movie collection the other day and realized that evidently I need to break down and read a Nick Hornby book. I was never interested while I was shelving them- they seemed to be aimed at guys, ya know about sports and stuff. But I own High Fidelity (John Cusack!) and About a Boy. I've also watched the English version of Fever Pitch, (Colin Firth!) about rugby, and the American version, about baseball, is next in my Netflix queue. Obviously, I have overlooked reading material, and so my next reading goal will be a Nick Hornby book. Maybe there's something new since my bookstore days. The basic plot: loser guy (whether or not he realizes it) wakes up and realizes other people exist. The epiphany is usually helped along by a woman. Of course.


OMG! It's Jane.
What does Nick Hornby have to do with Jane Austen? Colin Firth, duh. He's the ultimate Mr. Darcy, and he's in the English Fever Pitch. Silly question!
