Drugs / Books The Secret of Nick Hornby's Success

Phentermine is a weight suppressant drug. Alprazolam is an anti-depressant. It might be time for an intervention. Hornby has of course taken the too-revealing post down from his blog.

Hornby's books remind me of my second youth.

No kidding. Try putting up a blog using slightly outdated blog software like our friend Nick and see how long it is before you start revealing your own diet-drug loving ways to the world.
