All these books should count themselves lucky to have been read by Andy Miller Stewart Lee A readable, often funny account This is much more than a succession of verdicts on famous books. Its also an autobiography told through books reminiscent both in style and perceptiveness of Nick Hornby. Millers theme is that books arent separate from life Perhaps one book never changed anyones life; but 50 of them can.
