TEN YEARS IN THE TUB: A DECADE SOAKING IN GREAT BOOKS
Book ID/图书代码： 11701213B66879
English Summary/英文概要： A US omnibus edition of the four previously published volumes: THE POLYSYLLABIC SPREE, HOUSEKEEPING VS THE DIRT, SHAKESPEARE WROTE FOR MONEY and MORE BATHS LESS TALKING.
At the end of 2003, as the first issue of The Believer was rising from the primordial ooze, Nick Hornby turned in the inaugural instalment of a monthly column that immediately became a reader favourite. For the next ten years, Hornby’s incandescently funny “Stuff I’ve Been Reading” chronicled a singular reading life — one that is measured not just in “books bought” and “books read,” as each column begins, but in the way our feelings toward Celine Dion say a lot about who we are, the way Body Shop’s Vanilla Shower Gel can add excitement to our days, and the way John Updike might ruin our sex lives. Hornby’s column is both an impeccable, wide-ranging reading list and an indispensable reminder of why we read.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 2003 年年底，《信徒》的首次问世可谓石破天惊，尼克 • 霍恩从默默无名的月刊专栏作家，蹿升成为了一位深受读者的笔者。在接下来的十年，霍尔比闪耀着他智慧的诙谐“我一直在阅读的”承载着一个人的书海生涯，评量的方式不只是，“买书”和“读书”，一如专栏中所述，是我们对席琳 • 迪翁所说的有关我们是谁的感觉，如同美体小铺香草沐浴露可以令我们每日，平添无比幸福感，以及约翰 • 厄普代克可能会毁了我们的性性福生活的那种。霍恩比的专栏是无可挑剔的，海量书单，以及为何我们要阅读的一个不可或缺的提醒。（Sandy）
Awards/获奖情况：Praise for new title, TEN YEARS IN THE TUB:“the next best thing to having a real-live Hornby to urge you on… Frequently funny and endlessly quotable… Bursting with enthusiasm and clear-eyed about the author’s own contradictions, TEN YEARS IN THE TUB deserves to be devoured whole by anyone willing to spare 10 minutes to think about the books they read.” Keir Graff, Booklist (starred)
