reading
yesterday i finished reading a very good book created by the author nick hornby. the book was named fever pitch and was the first book i have read in a long long time. i have decieded that as i cant do much else i will start reading, use my brain a bit more than i normally do, try and become more intelectual. i really enjoyed this book. its about how nick hornby is a huge arsenal fan and he talks about his life as an arsenal fan from the 60's through till 1992. as i also love football i could relate to a lot of things he was writing about to my own experiences. it was interesting to see a fans perspective of the club through the years, and why he loved the club so much, what he hated, managers and players, the ground, the fans, opposition fans and much more. however the book did not only talk about football, it was also about his life and how the two things interacted, how football pretty much ruled his life in the end.
