Let's make this birthday one to remember.

68 years old (Born on April 17, 1957)

Happy Birthday, Nick Hornby! Another year older and still brilliantly capturing life's quirks with wit and warmth. From "High Fidelity" to "About a Boy," your stories have become timeless companions, making us laugh, reflect, and nod knowingly at our own absurdities.

Your recent successes continue to inspire—your insightful essays and compelling screenplays remind us why we fell in love with your writing in the first place. May this birthday bring you as much joy as you've given readers worldwide; here's hoping your next chapter is filled with even more humor, heartwarming moments, and perhaps fewer Arsenal disappointments!

Cheers!
