I started reading High Fidelity last night.. the novel, by Nick Hornby.. i think it was his first novel.. the first chapter reminds me of the Cusack movie a lot..
has anyone read this one before? and how is it?

i like this quote from the book. :rolleyes:
my genius, if i can call it that, is to combine a whole load of averageness into one compact frame. i'd say that there were millions like me, but there aren't, really: lots of blokes have impeccable music taste but don't read, lots of blokes read but are really fat, lots of blokes are sympathetic to feminism but have stupid beards, lots of blokes have a woody allen sense of humor but look like woody allen. lots of blokes drink too much, lots of blokes behave stupidly when they drive cars, lots of blokes get into fights, or show off about money, or take drugs. i don't do any of these things, really; if i do okay with women, it's not because of the virtues i have, but because of the shadows i don't have.
