The Complete Polysyllabic Spree by Nick Hornby

4.0

The Complete Polysyllabic Spree is a delight for any reader---a treasure trove and a spoiler minefield for to-be-read piles! It is witty, easy-to-read and definitely relatable. Especially the fact about buying books faster than you can read them. I completely agree with Hornby that it is not just hoarding and the intention is more important---we do intend to read all of them, we just have not been able to get to it yet. Many of the pieces are also accompanied by little extracts from the books being written about, giving you a little taste, a slight tease. A little something to mull on as you add yet another set to your ever-increasing To-Be-Read pile!
