Hornby picks favorite music; Folds picks favorite books

In New York for a publicity tour and some TV appearances, Ben and Nick visited New York Magazine, which asked the pair to switch areas of expertise, asking Ben to name his favorite books and Nick his favorite music.  Ben chose books by Philip Roth, Fidel Castro, George Orwell, Kurt Vonnegut and, of course, Nick Hornby, while Nick chose songs by Derek and the Dominoes, Sade, The Band, Fleetwood Mac and Little Richard, among others.  See what they chose.
