High Fidelity by Nick Hornby

Another good read by Nick Hornby, I must confess that 'About A Boy' hooked me so deep that I've gone out and read everything else of his I can get my hands on. There's no denying that he is a fabulous writer, whip-smart and funny, even though this book didn't strike quite the same chords as AbAB. Partly I think because I could relate more personally to the other book, but I think also because AbAB was more heartfelt (while still witty) whereas 'High Fidelity' was much more humourous. Once again, they did a fabulous job of turning the book into a movie, and I would have to say the book and the movie are on pretty equal par. Definitely worth reading.
