This is not a book of reviews. This is not a book that sneers at other books. This is a book about reading - about enjoying books wherever and however you find them.
Nick Hornby is first and foremost a reader and he approaches books like the rest of us: hoping to pick up one he can`t put down. "The Complete Polysyllabic Spree" is a diary of sorts, charting his reading life over two years. It is a celebration of why we read - its pleasures, its disappointments and its surprises. And above all, it is for you - the ever hopeful reader.
