High Fidelity

High Fidelity - 5 hearts awardNick Hornby’s High Fidelity was not only the first guy lit book I ever read, it also preceded my discovery of chick lit by a couple of years. I was living in Paris in the summer of 96 and reading my way through the bookshelf of the British woman whose studio I was subletting. I was bored by most of the books, so imagine my joy at discovering the jewel that is High Fidelity: outrageously funny, clever, touching, and romantic. I loved it so much that I nearly stole the book, but instead contented myself with writing down the title and author and ordering as soon as I was back in the US.

    Yes, I love everything he has ever written. About a Boy was a masterpiece, and even though I’m not into sports at all, I’ve even read Fever Pitch several times.
