High Fidelity by Nick Hornby
1.0

“Well, I’m sexist, aren’t I? Is that the right answer?”

I think this line about sums up my experience reading the book. Yes Rob. That is the answer. Reading this book made me want to question my own memory having grown up loving the film. My God, I didn’t remember this character being a misogynistic prick. I wanted to bail on this one after the first chapter but I just needed to see how bad it was going to get. If anything I felt like it gave me insight into the mind of my ex who has a similar inclinations to be a pretentious douche about music. Normally I’m the annoying person who never wants to watch the movie before reading the book it’s based on, but I think this book makes a case for doing the opposite every once in a while.
