Nick HornbyIโm not the smartest guy in the world, but Iโm certainly not the dumbest. I mean, Iโve read books like "The Unbearable Lightness of Being" and "Love in the Time of Cholera", and I think Iโve understood them. Theyโre about girls, right? Just kidding. But I have to say my all-time favorite book is Johnny Cashโs autobiography "Cash" by Johnny Cash.
