Reading '31 Songs' is a bit like how I might imagine going out to the pub with Nick Hornby (in itself no bad thing I'm sure) just for a couple of beers and a general, not hugely insightful, chat about music - and therein lies the problem.
Whilst ostensibly a book about 31 songs - this comprises vague ideas and thoughts sometimes tenuously connected (although not always) with each song , but that's about it - there's nothing seemingly passionate or heartfelt concerning said songs.
'31 Songs' is therefore not ostensibly bad in itself, there is just a lack of focus and direction - this feels very much like Hornby treading water and is certainly here not at his best.
In summary - a missed opportunity.
