Speaking with the Angel by Nick Hornby and others

So I bought this collection of short stories because… Nick Hornby.

Also, it benefits Autism.  Or rather, those with Autism.

It’s a collection of stories from a bunch of writers and Colin Firth.

• “PMQ” by Robert Harris
• “The Wonder Spot” by Melissa Bank
• “Last Requests” by Giles Smith
• “Peter Shelley” by Patrick Marber
• “The Department of Nothing” by Colin Firth
• “I’m the Only One” by Zadie Smith
• “NippleJesus” by Nick Hornby
• “LuckyBitch” by Helen Fielding
• “The Slave” by Roddy Doyle
• “Catholic Guilt” by Irvine Welsh
• “After I Was Thrown in the River and Before I Drowned” by Dave Eggers
• “Walking into the Wind” by John O’Farrell

“NippleJesus” was great.  “Walking into the Wind” was very David Sedaris (i.e. good).

In general, this is a fun collection of stories.  I think Colin Firth should stick to acting, and I am forever ashamed by my inability to enjoy Dave Eggers, but overall, this is a good read.
