	A Long Way Down »rank: 13246 par: Nick Hornby		About A Boy »rank: 29111 par: Nick Hornby Chroniques et points de vue:From :Will Lightman is a Peter Pan for the 1990s. At 36, the terminally hip North Londoner is unmarried, hyper-concerned with his coolness quotient, and blithely living off his father's novelty-song royalties. Will sees himself as entirely lacking in hidden depths--and he's proud of it! The only trouble is, his friends are succumbing to responsibilities and children, and he's increasingly left out in the cold.

	Fever Pitch »rank: 42633 par: Nick Hornby Chroniques et points de vue:From :ln the States, Nick Hornby is best know as the author of High Fidelity and About a Boy, two wickedly funny novels about being thirtysomething and going nowhere fast. ln Britain he is revered for his status as a fanatical football writer (sorry, fanatical soccer writer), owing to Fever Pitch--which is both an autobiography and a footballing Bible rolled into one.

High Fidelity »rank: 7891 par: Nick Hornby Chroniques et points de vue:From :lt has been said often enough that baby boomers are a television generation, but the very funny novel High Fidelity reminds that in a way they are the record-album generation as well.
