When Nick Hornby started to write...

...he had three ambitions, or so he says on his blog:

" I wanted to be published; I wanted to support myself, and one day my family, through my books; and more than anything I wanted my work somehow to provide the inspiration for a bath or shower product."

And now, he's achieved those goals, notably No. 3: Lush, a British body products company, has named a chocolate body wash Sonic Death Monkey, after a band name in High Fidelity.

I think we all have something new to which we now aspire.

Congrats, Mr. Hornby! That's an accomplishment few writers (I think) will achieve in their careers.
