Q:Ever read Nick Hornby's Fever Pitch? Despite the general Arsenalness of it, actually one of the best sports books I've ever read and one of the few that really grasps at what it means to be a fan
It’s awfully Arsenaly.
You also have to remember that book culminates with one of the bitterest moments in Liverpool history.
But yes. The story is good. I like Hornby. I think he is underrated as a stylist.

Is Arsenaly a Nerdfighter word that I don’t know yet or is it a word I can look up in the dictionary?

When Hornby’s on, he’s on…but he sometimes favors style over substance. ‘About a Boy’ is a wonderful book, but I just finished ‘How to Be Good’ and was disappointed in what felt like a scattershot story with great characters and dialogue.
