Nick Hornby's The Complete Polysyllabic Spree allows readers to follow the author's monthly readings from September 2003 through June 2006. By adding in passages of the books he has read, Hornby allows his audience to explore potential books while assuring them that buying additional books no matter the height of the to-be-read pile is acceptable.
Further, Hornby provides a glimpse into his personal life as he peppers in information about his favorite soccer club (Arsenal), life as the parent of an autistic son, his connections to writers such as Gill Hornby or Robert Harris, touring with a band, or places he visited.
