With an affectionate introduction by Sarah Vowell, this is the third and final collection of columns by celebrated novelist Nick Hornby from "The Believer" magazine. Hornby's monthly reading diary discusses cultural artifacts the way they actually exist in people's lives, and his notes on books--highbrow and otherwise--are accessible and hilarious.

Shakespeare Wrote for Money is a collection of Hornsby's last columns for the Believer magazine. I'm glad he's given up on these. I must say I liked his earlier columns, but his river of reading has seemed to dry up and lose its charm, so to speak.
