Here's my latest for the Arts Fuse: a review of NickHornby's "Dickens and Prince." I love these kinds of unlikely comparisons--they shake loose our regular categories of thinking about the arts. What pair would you select for a comparison book like this?

I started reading Nick Hornby's Juliet, Naked again. It's making me recall when meeting new people on the net was exciting.

Maybe it is because when I read it for the first time, I was about Annie's age and now I'm closer to Tucker's age.

That thing about things never happening again the same way? What used to be adventurous is now outlived.

I really don't want to think I'm beyond surprise. I'm not, am I?

(no, I'm not)

Finished reading "High Fidelity" #NickHornby (again) what can I say, he's a very good author, the book is very well balanced, between the happy and the sad, between the inner voice and the external experiences, the journey is an intriguing one, although due to the pop culture references it does not always age well, it is still a wonderful book.
