Fever Pitch:

Fever Pitch is Nick Hornby's first book and a mix between a novel and an autobiography (or maybe it's just an autobiography? It is often described as nonfiction, but...). It describes his affection/ infatuation with Arsenal London, a football club in London. In a series of match accounts spanning almost his entire life, he describes his life - which is more than just football. |
