"Housekeeping vs. The Dirt" - Nick Hornby

http://www.powells.com/biblio/18-1932416595-0: A collection of essays from Hornby's column in The Believer magazine. This is the "sequel" to "The Polysyllabic Spree". Hornby writes monthly about the books he's bought and the books he's read, along the way offering insightful and witty advice about reading - what to read, why people read, what not to read, and how not to feel guilty about all those books on your shelves (and in the library) that you haven't read. I love Hornby's novels (High Fidelity, About a Boy, The Long Way Down, How to Be Good), but his essays have truly made him one of my favorite (if not the favorite) writers of all time. Truly brilliant.
