Fever Pitch - Nick Hornby

"Whether you are interested in football or not, this is tears-running-down-your-face funny, read-bits-out-loud-to-complete-strangers funny, but also highly perceptive and honest about Hornby's absession and the state of the game. Fever Pitch is not only the best football book ever written, it's the funniest book of the year" - Nicholas Lezard
