How to be good

À onze ans, Nick Hornby pénètre pour la première fois dans Highbury, l'antre du club d'Arsenal, à Londres. Saisi par les clameurs du stade et l'émotion de partager une passion avec son père divorcé et absent, le petit Nick devient pratiquant de ce culte étrange qu'on nomme football. En grandissant, il voit son obsession dévorer peu à peu le reste de sa vie...

 Un modèle d'autobiographie doublé d'un livre fin et drôle. Que demander de plus ?  Madame Figaro Véritablement hilarant. Même ceux qui haïssent le football se régaleront.  Elle

High fidelity (mti)

Will is 36 and doesn't really want children. But then he comes across 12-year-old Marcus and it's pretty clear that Marcus would like a dad. The trouble is, Marcus is weird - a boy who prefers Joni Mitchell to Nirvana. He also knows something about Will that he can definitely use.

About a boy (film tie-in)

Now a major motion picture from Touchstone Pictures.
Rob is a pop music junkie who runs his own semi-failing record store. His girlfriend, Laura, has just left him for the guy upstairs, and Rob is both miserable and relieved. After all, could he have spent his life with someone who has a bad record collection? Rob seeks refuge in the company of the offbeat clerks at his store, who endlessly review their top five films (Reservoir Dogs...); top five Elvis Costello songs ("Alison"...); top five episodes of Cheers (the one where Woody sang his stupid song to Kelly...). Rob tries dating a singer whose rendition of "Baby, I Love Your Way" makes him cry. But maybe it's just that he's always wanted to sleep with someone who has a record contract. Then he sees Laura again. And Rob begins to think (awful as it sounds) that life as an episode of thirtysomething, with all the kids and marriages and barbecues and k.d. lang CD's that this implies, might not be so bad.
