As with his The Polysyllabic Spree, the first collection of these columns, Hornby is funny and informative. Perhaps too informative as reading about these books is dangerous if one doesn’t want one’s to-read list to get too much longer. Each essay covers one month of books Hornby bought and books Hornby read.

The structure continues to be inspired but I didn’t enjoy this collection as much as the last one because he goes off in tangents and talks somewhat less about books and because,...more

Recommends it for: fans of funny brits, books, arsenal

I can't even begin to say how much I liked this book. Almost enough to subscribe to the Believer, at least, if only for Hornby's essays. At the risk of offending lots of critics, his essays do something that so few book reviews ever do: entertain the reader on their own merits, and and AND, so much more importantly, actually inspire you to WANT to read the books he talks about. A uniquely witty and "literary" (I mean that in the good, intelligent way) reader who actually has, like, ...more

Is it wrong to laugh loudly on public transportation? Are people are going to look at you funny? If you are a person, like me, who reads during the commute and is embarrassed by public displays of amusement, read this one in the privacy of your own home. I recommend drawing the curtains as well.

I can't claim that this book was great, by any means. It was witty and informative and entertaining, though, and that's just what I was looking for when I decided to read it.

For those not familiar: "Housekeeping..." is a sort of sequel to Hornby's earlier work "The Polysyllabic Spree." Both of these books were originally published in monthly segments in "The Believer."

The premise of these pieces is to track the contant readers' dilemma: whi...more

I've previously read and enjoyed Nick Hornby's first book of columns from The Believer, The Polysyllabic Spree, so I was looking forward to his new collection Housekeeping vs. The Dirt. I find his reviewing style refreshingly down to earth and persuasive. I think his writing about music is also first rate, see 31 Songs.

This books of essays is just as smart and funny and wonderful as The Polysyllabic Spree, both of which are collections of Hornby's reviews from "The Believer" magazine. Aside from being a great read in and of themselves, the essays have also given me some amazing recommendations for further reading, including books I'd never have heard of o...more

It seems about the only way to read real thoughts on real literature instead of reading flippant gibberish found everywhere else. I say this because anyone willing to take the time to write about books usually has something interesting to say other than the humdrum.
Hornby makes a good point in saying we should not judge those who read pop fiction because we don'tknow if maybe that one crap book may be the gateway that will lead them on to something better in their reading repertoire. I've been down that crap road but I blame my travels on not having anyone guide me down a better path.
He says how "the world of books seems to be getting more bookish". Where the characters tend to be long dead authors or characters trying to be writers. He says we "can't all write literature about literature". I digress though because he has written at least three books just on this topic. Anyway, I love literature about literature. I absolutely love it when I smell the links that books make to one another. I love it when someone other than the used up Jane Austen show up in a very "bookish" novel for me to read. Ah, reminds me of Simmon's Drood where we get to hang out with Dickens and Wilkie Collins. Now that is the stuff that makes my mouth water.
Hornby claims that writing too bookishly may alienate readers. Maybe, but I don't really care. Those readers will come around eventually when they get off the crap highway. For me, bookish books have highlighted my reading habits in the best of ways. Since I didn't have a mentor versed in good vs bad books I've had to learn on my own and I thank great reviewers of the past and present to pique my interests.
I'm not competely convinced that we can trust all the best of the best reading lists anymore and my reasoning comes from the fact that most lists ty to be too politically correct. This politial correctness is probably one of the reasons people turn to crap literature. It's ruining our canon of study. Do you think I'm the only one with this opinion? The great Harold Bloom agrees with me.(less)

This is going to be a joint review of all three of Nick Hornby's collections of Believer columns.

First off, I need to say I'm deeply relieved that Nick Hornby can write nonfiction, and that's it's just Fever Pitch that is miserable. I was a little worried.

Secondly, you should not read these books if you do not want your list of books to read to grow significantly. While is is part of the Believer's schtick that reviews must be positive (the books he doesn't like must on...more

In his second collection of articles from The Believer, Nick Hornby writes his impressions of various books he has read each month. In his preface, Hornby writes about how writing these articles changed his reading - he started reading those books that he, incredibly, wanted to read - and believes that reading itself should not be, as some people think, a grand slog to read those books that one "should" read, but a fun way to spend free time. Only he says it much more elegantly and per...more

It is the kind of reward that browsing often delivers - you follow your interests and intuition from, say, the crafting to the history section, and somewhere along the way you find an unsought gem. When I came across Nick Hornby's Housekeeping vs. The Dirt, I had been looking for his High Fidelity, to read the source material for the movie I had so enjoyed. Housekeeping vs. The Dirt is Hornby’s monthly accounts of his “books read” and “books bought,” which were originally written for the Believer magazine. A quick reading of a few excerpts had me sold.

Hornby’s reading lists follow his fancy, which he admits is predictable: “I’m always reading bloody works of literature.” But he humorously embraces his homogeneous tastes, as in the month where he confides: “I would like my personal reading map to resemble a map of the British Empire circa 1900; I’d like people to look at it and think, How the hell did he end up right over there? As it is, I make only tiny little incursions into the territory of my own ignorance…” The book reviews themselves also follow their author’s idiosyncrasies. Rather than give a synopsis and measured analysis of each book, Hornby hits on what is striking and essential to him, praising one book for its endearing characters and spot-on prose, but dooming another to “remain nameless because I hated it so much.” He also spends a great deal of time shooting the shit, from one reader to another - and he’s really good at it.

As much as Housekeeping vs. The Dirt is about the content of books, it’s also about the experience of reading, and the relationship between reader and book. His tales of personal battles to expand his genre repertoire are an example of this, and there are plenty of others. When talking about his book’s namesake, Marilynne Robinson’s Housekeeping, he shared that it took him “forever” to read, but that he liked this because “the time I spent with it means that it lives with me still.” Conversely, Motley Crue’s autobiography The Dirt is so bad that he recommends not reading for a month before (because the “strong flavors…will overwhelm pretty much any other literary delicacy you may have consumed”), and not reading for a month after (because “it will be hard to see the point”). Hornby’s meta-reading musings add another layer of richness to his commentaries.

It doesn’t matter if you never read a single book Hornby recommends – the reviews themselves are genius, and seriously funny. I can’t remember the last time a book made me laugh so much. And ironically, you might be better off sticking to reading his reviews rather than his recommendations. I’m only one-for-three when it comes to liking what he does. I also just finished one of Hornby’s own novels, A Long Way Down, which was, bluntly spoken, a waste of time and a reminder that being a “New York Times Bestseller” means fuck-all. That said, I do plan to buy his other two review compilations - and even if they’re only half as good as this one, I’m still in for a treat.

Of course, there are many other good reasons to pick this up. I did so because I was over half an hour early for a meeting near St. Clair station, and was grateful to find that Deer Park library was only steps away from the office. This book immediately jumped out at me, because I was shocked to find that there was a Nick Hornby book in existence that I had never heard about.

I read most of it in a cramped, ugly Wendy's and during one of the most uncomfortable subway rides of my life. And none of that managed to detract from the humour and wit that pervades all of Hornby's writing. (I feel it is important to provide that background, because if there is one message to take from this collection, it is that the circumstances in which you read a book are at least as important as the quality of the book itself.)

All of the essays found here were originally published in The Believer, a literary magazine with a very interesting conceit. As Hornby phrases it, commandment number one is "THOU SHALT NOT SLAG ANYONE OFF". So what you have here is a collection of almost entirely positive book reviews. This is harder to pull off than one might think. Writing negative reviews is almost laughably easy. Remove the most important tools of a critic - sarcasm, condescension, and general bitchery - and there's not much left. Dorothy Parker's book reviews would have been nothing without them.

Writing positive reviews that are not saccharine or bogged down with repetitive adjectives is very difficult indeed. And Hornby carries it off with characteristic flair. (Plus, he never once claims that Winnie-the-Pooh made him "fwow up", which is an improvement over Parker in and of itself.)

Reading criticism of books that I have never read - and will probably never read - was an interesting experience. I have a suspicion that Hornby and I do not share similar tastes in literature. But I found that the books he was reviewing mostly acted as a catalyst for his casual observations about life and his sly way of smashing through whatever pretensions you have about writing, art, and the "distinction" between high-brow and low-brow. Thanks to him, John Carey's What Good Are the Arts? has moved up to somewhere near the top of my to-read list. And I may never entertain the thought of reading Candide again.(less)

Nick Hornby demonstrates that literary criticism is not dead, but that it is also fun to read. His thoughts on what he reads are as fascinating as the books he buys each month to read.

(And discovered that I've purchased at least two copies of Housekeeping, though if memory serves, there's another lurking in a box somewhere with a greenish-yellow cover circa early nineties. Damn.

Also worthwhile if only to discover that Hornby, too, finds Iain Banks to be less-than compelling. He tries and fails to finish one of Banks' science fiction novels, and, having been in the same boat with Banks, it was with undisguised glee that I read this bit:

"And nothing in the twenty-odd pages I managed of Excession was in any way bad; it's just that I didn't understand a word. I didn't even understand the blurb on the back of the book: 'Two and a half millenia ago, the artifact appeared in a remote corner of space, beside a trillion-year-old dying sun from a different universe. It was a perfect black-body sphere, and it did nothing. Then it disappeared. Now it is back.' This is clearly intended to entice us into the novel—that's what blurbs do, right? But this blurb just made me scared. An artifact—that's something you normally find in a museum, isn't it? Well, what's a museum exhibit doing floating around in space? So what if it did nothing? What are museum exhibits supposed to do? And this dying sun—how come it's switched universes? Can dying suns do that?"

I laughed and hooted while reading this on the subway—tears may have even been shed, if not by me than by those around me, who did their damnedest to get as far away from me as possible.

Damn, but I'll miss this column of his.

This is Hornby's second in a series of articles he published for the literary magazine, The Believer. The intro is one of the best parts of the collection. Hornby pleads the case that there are no "bad" books. In the modern world where so many distractions (family, movies, sports, TV) pull at us, there's no need to struggle through a classic or recommended book that you aren't enjoying. Put the thing down, read something else, and never be ashamed of your reading choices. Just read.

Quotes from Housekeeping vs. the Dirt

“Please stop patronizing those who are reading a book - The Da Vinci Code, maybe- because they are enjoying it. For a start, none of us know what kind of an effort this represents for the individual reader. It could be his or her first full-length adult novel; it might be the book that finally reveals the purpose and joy of reading to someone who has hitherto been mystified by the attraction books exert on others. And anyway, reading for enjoyment is what we should all be doing. I don't mean we should all be reading chick lit or thrillers (although if that's what you want to read, it's fine by me, because here's something no one else will tell you: if you don't read the classics, or the novel that won this year's Booker Prize, then nothing bad will happen to you; more importantly,nothing good will happen to you if you do); I simply mean that turning pages should not be like walking through thick mud. The whole purpose of books is that we read them, and if you find you can't, it might not be your inadequacy that's to blame. "Good" books can be pretty awful sometimes.” — 107 people liked it
