I'm also a Hornby fan, though I haven't read all or even most of his stuff. I was particularly impressed with Fever Pitch, not that it was tremendously profound but it did help me make sense out of a bunch of things that went way beyond the purported topic of the book, and it's also funny and elegantly written, one of the relatively few books that I've found myself coming back to time after time with pleasure.
It's interesting that you like his books -- he has always struck me as a pretty guy-oriented writer, and I doubted that he'd get (or is worthy of) a sympathetic reading on the ladies' side...
