Nick HornbyThat is another chamber of my heart that shows no electrical activity - the chamber that used to flicker into life when I saw a film that moved me, or read a book that inspired me, or listened to music that made me want to cry. I closed that chamber myself, for all the usual reasons. And now I seem to have made a pact with some philistine devil: if I don't attempt to re-open it, I will be allowed just enough energy and optimism to get through a working day without wanting to hang myself.

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.
